Le Mans on Autoblog

Looking up stuff for the Petit Le Mans Event...found a great blog, Autobloggreen...hey, They "
obsessively cover the green scene" and since this is such a big deal, might be helpful to read up.

Oh, and an afterthought...so since there's a gas shortage, how does that affect this racing series...I know they'll still race in the rain, but will they still race with no gas? Have they already purchased all the fuel they need? How does this work?

The fuel they use is specially formulated for the race cars and is trucked in, not part of the pipeline problem that we've been having. (As an example, most of us pump 87 octane fuel into our cars, so may have to do 89 or 91. The E10 race fuel probably has an octane rating of 110 or so - designed for much higher performance motors.)
