Australian company CSR Ethanol will provide the E85 ethanol-blend fuel for V8 Supercars from next season.

“This is a great outcome for the sport and the environment,” Lowndes said, “I noticed absolutely no difference in power or performance between the ethanol fuel and our current petrol blend, but what we did notice was the massive reduction in exhaust fumes and how much cleaner the E85 burns. It was very dramatic.”

Not only will all V8s and safety vehicles be running exclusively on E85, the CSR Ethanol brand will also play an active role in growing the V8 Racing Green carbon offset and education programme launched by V8 Supercars Australia last year.

All V8 teams involved in the Series will be using E85 from March 2009.
