Tech Question: Running on 100% ethanol?!
This year has been the first year we see Indy Car switching fully to Ethanol fuel. Whether ethanol powered cars are the be-all end-all is yet to be decided. But here is what I have heard.
1) When Indy Car switched to Methanol with an Ethanol blend they did much to improve the "green-ness" of their cars. (Though the green-ness of Ethanol is still unclear to me.) 2) Switching to 100% Ethanol puts them in a much better situation green-wise. However, is it possible with the modern racing fuel cell to actually run on 100% Ethanol?! Chris |
