IndyCar and Shell have unveiled an updated version of their 100% renewable race fuel, set to be used in the 2027 IndyCar season. This new formulation is an evolution of the renewable race fuel program that began in 2023. Mark Miles, president and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp, noted that this progress showcases the partnership between IndyCar and its fuel supplier.
The updated Shell fuel will feature a substantial amount of domestically sourced U.S.-grown renewable ethanol from Indiana, as well as other renewable components to maintain a 100% renewable composition.
Indiana's House Speaker Todd Huston expressed pride in the collaboration, highlighting the connection between the state's agricultural and motorsports industries. The new fuel formulation is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 70% compared to the baseline of average gasoline. Shell USA president Colette Hirstius emphasized their ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in motorsports through this partnership.
IndyCar became the first major US-based motorsport series to race on renewable fuel in 2023, setting a precedent for sustainable competition.
