🗣️'I didn't notice any performance loss from the engine. I can't speak highly enough about that step.' josefnewgarden says he’s been impressed with the drivability of his Chevrolet engine following IndyCar's switch to renewable fuel for 2023 ⬇️
Shell has produced a new race fuel for IndyCar that consists of a blend of second-generation ethanol derived from sugarcane waste and other biofuels, to create a fuel that is 100 percent comprised of feedstocks categorised as renewable.
Asked if the proliferation of first-gear corners at Thermal Club had been a contributing factor to Honda's predominance, Team Penske-Chevrolet driver Newgarden replied: “I felt really good with our package. “I thought the performance on the 100% renewable fuel was fantastic. It's a huge step that we're making as a series with Shell to run 100% renewable fuel, the first series in the United States to be able to do that.“We should be shouting that from mountaintops. It's very cool what Shell has been able to provide us, and I think the Chevrolet engine has adapted quite well to it. The drivability has been excellent.
“These are things that happen. It's good to have this type of environment to make that mistake and get ready for St. Pete.
