Through close collaboration with IMSA and the OEMs, VP Racing engineered R80 specifically for the GTP class to deliver sustainability with performance. To ensure the highest quality components are used, VP globally sourced advanced renewable components used in the R80 formulation. This environmentally friendly, sustainable fuel will help reduce emissions and give the world-class performance expected of a VP fuel. Specific R80 features include …
** A fuel formulated with 64% Gen 2 non-food biomass
** At or more than 55% reduction in CO2 versus previous fuels
** All the performance needed is track-proven at the Rolex 24
R80 did indeed perform and impress the race teams as they experienced this new generation of fuel and racing. “There is a really cool renewable fuel in this car,” said David Salters, President of Honda Performance Development. “It’s great because it’s a new thing. We are cutting edge.”
“Sustainability is one of the pillars of our new GTP class,” said IMSA Senior Vice President, Marketing and Business Operations David Pettit. “As our technical team developed plans for the next generation of our top prototype class, it quickly became clear that renewable fuels and hybrid technology were vital to earning commitments from our manufacturers to participate. We are proud to partner with VP Racing on the introduction of R80 and are committed to building toward 100 percent renewable fuel in the future.”
GTP sports cars use a single-source hybrid powertrain and will run exclusively on renewable R80 fuel.
