Ethanol-fuelled racecars at the Toyota Grand Prix

100% fuel grade ethanol will power the racecars in the Toyota Grand Prix, held on Long Beach on 18 April 2010, according to the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA).

UNICA has partnered with IndyCar to raise awareness about the use of ethanol. UNICA’s chief representative Joel Velasco for the US said: ‘Sugarcane ethanol is a clean and affordable renewable fuel that could help Americans save money at the pump, cut US dependence on Middle East oil and improve the environment.’

In 2009 UNICA became the official fuel supplier for IndyCar, at the same time that the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) became a major sponsor of the IndyCar Series.

During the 2010 Grand Prix season UNICA will host special promotions at various races in the US in partnership with Apex-Brasil to increase the awareness of sugarcane ethanol as sustainable fuel.
