The American Le Mans Series has announced that it will switch to an ethanol-enriched fuel for the 2007 racing season. ALMS will partner with the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) to make E10, gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol.

“At a time when alternative fuel initiatives are in the daily headlines, we could not be more pleased to unite with an organization such as EPIC to aid in spreading the awareness of renewable energy and the benefits of ethanol in the most demanding environment in motorsports: American Le Mans Series sports car racing,” said Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series.

The ALMS announcement follows the IndyCar Series, which began using an ethanol blend last year, and will switch to pure ethanol (E100) in 2007.
