Toyota Racing Series will use ethanol next season

The premier single-seat racing class in New Zealand will burn a biofuel during the 2007/2008 season. Officials for the Toyota Racing Series say Shell and Anchor Ethanol Limited are developing the ethanol-blended product. The move follows the lead of other racing series such as the IRL to switch to ethanol. Manufacturers like the fuel as a way to demonstrate green initiatives.
