Manufacturers adapting their engines to carbon-neutral fuel could be the"key factor" in this year's SUPER GT title race, believes reigning champion Bertrand Baguette.The Japanese series announced last year plans to switch to a second-generation biomass fuel supplied by German firm Haltermann Carless for the 2023 campaign as part of a drive to reduce carbon emissions.
Impul Nissan driver Baguette believes that the shift to carbon-neutral fuel has the potential to shake up the competitive order. Manufacturer testing has so far been dominated by Honda, which has topped every one of the five days of running that has taken place this year with multiple GT500 marques in attendance.TOM'S Toyota driver Ritomo Miyata says the impending switch to CNF means that the real picture won't become clear until official pre-season testing kicks off next month.
"Honda gets more of an advantage than the others in these conditions because of the aero. For now they look fast, but I don’t think they will be four, five tenths ahead in the first race.Baguette and Hiramine endured a difficult start to their title-winning campaign at Okayama last year as they finished seventh on what was the debut race outing for the all-new Nissan Z.
