Indycar Series to use pure ethanol for the 2007 season
Alternative fuels have received much attention lately because of the growing awareness of global warming and the dedication of the Government of the United States to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Several companies in the industry of alternative fuels have made great leap in the development of fuels that can be substituted for gasoline.
Biodiesel is an alternative fuels being developed with ethanol. Currently, there are already cars and vehicles on the road that run on fuel composed of ethanol and gasoline. The use of ethanol is largely supported by the government since it is proven to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas emissions.
Recently, ethanol as a substitute for gasoline, has found a new ally in the shape of the IndyCar Series. The single-seater racing series highlighted by the famous Indianapolis 500 will use pure ethanol as fuel for next season.
The series will be the history of motor sport when he opened the season with the XM Indy Satellite Radio 300 on March 24 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The race series will be the first motorsports that will use pure ethanol as fuel for the 3.5 provided Honda Indy V8. Sport will be setting a record for a series of races using a renewable fuel that is a step towards the greening races.
Ethanol replaces methanol, which served as the fuel of choice for the series for over forty years. Champion Tony Kanaan the series in 2004, has this to say about the use of ethanol: "The IndyCar Series jump to ethanol has been great. We're definitely on track with ethanol. There is more power with the new (3.5-liter Honda Indy V-8) engine. It runs clean it is better for the environment. So a win-win, and that is great for the series. Ethanol is another alternative to gasoline. If we can show that the IndyCar Series cars can run ethanol, then it is good for street cars throughout the world. "
Using ethanol in vehicles such as those used in the races is a good choice because the fuel has characteristics that agree on the need for more power from these cars. Ethanol has an octane rating higher than methanol. This means that ethanol is more resistant than the premature explosion of methanol used previously.
premature detonation reduces the amount of energy per volume of fuel. Knocking also increases fuel consumption because the engine needs to compensate for the loss power by providing more fuel to burn.
In the case of high performance vehicles, the 113 octane rating of ethanol is more desirable compared to the 107 octane rating of methanol. The fact that ethanol comes from renewable agricultural products that are added to the call fuel as a substitute for gasoline and in the case of the race, methanol.
For all the power supplied by ethanol, it produces less emissions than gasoline or methanol. The cool looking cars in the series, but without the headlights that makes them not be applicable to this title = "Lund Look"> Lund Look for Xenon High quality, are driven at speeds over 230 miles per hour without doubt necessary additional power from ethanol.
The efficiency and cleanliness of the ethanol has really been a good ally in the form of the series. The cars have more power while producing less harmful emissions. And this means that the two popular racing series, the alternative fuel industry and the environment and the public will benefit from this action of IndyCar.

Indy Racing League (IRL) Tickets – Best Storylines from 2010 Indy 500
300,000 fans racing cars jostling Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, even despite a wave of record heat on the runway, and Jack Nicholson waved the green flag to signal another Indy 500 was already advanced. On the action was aplenty in the 94th year that Indy Indianapolis 500 began, and here are some of the scenarios above out of the 500-mile race sweltering this year.
Dario Franchitti takes two. Franchitti became the 17th driver in history Indycar win the prestigious Indianapolis 500 for the second time in her victory May 30, 2010. The Ganassi Racing speedster led most of the race and coasted Victory Lane at 208 mph, despite running out of fuel at the very end. Franchitti win was a huge Indy and was well deserved, as he was clearly the fastest car of the weekend.
Tony Kanaan is the king back. Stellar maneuverability Kanaan on the track and racing top level is the substance that sells <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/irl-tickets-indy-car-series/"> Indy Racing League (IRL) tickets </ a> every year, and it was no different at Indy 500 in 2010. After a week of horrible skills in which he crashed Pole Day and Bump Day yet, Kanaan barely qualified for the race at all and started dead last in the field of 33 drivers. Initially aiming to break his 14-car passing record for a single race, Kanaan has dazzled the crowd in Indianapolis, where it bypasses a huge 22 car en route to a 11th place finish.
Marco Andretti gets justice. Marco Andretti sob story is nothing new, but this time the driver 23-year staked a claim just when he asked the examiners race look in his sixth place of origin to the Indy 500. Andretti has proclaimed that the three drivers illegally passed him under caution in the past minutes of the race, and he finally got a third place when it was determined that Alex Lloyd, Scott Dixon and Danica Patrick in the past in the past straight line under caution at lap 199.
Danica Patrick has undertaken. Danica Patrick is no longer the single dominant woman on the circuit. 21-year Swiss rookie Simona De Silvestro is rapidly gaining ground as well, finishing a respectable 13th in his first career Indy 500. De Silvestro started in 22nd position at the Indy 500 and won the rookie of the year awards after the race Chase to become the second rookie to finish the highest (After Mario Romancini), and it was a spectacular finish considering it was only his second oval track in the IRL. She soon eclipse T Danica Patrick?
Tomas Scheckter may be faster track. Tomas Scheckter need for speed has led to a 15th place finish at the Indy 500, but it looks like he has a little extra practice before the big race Memorial Day weekend. Scheckter has been clocked going over 100 mph on Interstate 65 in Indianapolis the night before the first Indy 500 at excessive speed when he was captured Indy by police. Declaring the event on his Twitter account, the 29-year tweeted "arrested by the cops three of them. Said they told [sic] I was weaving in traffic to over 100 and it took forever to catch me. carb day:). "

NASCAR Tickets – NASCAR Nationwide Series Danica Patrick's waiting Back
Danica Patrick is now kneeling in a season (so far unsuccessfully) with the Indy Racing League, but after the smoke of the Indianapolis 500 allows it to move slowly back into the tail of the NASCAR season with JR Motorsports. Attempts young Patrick in the race of the NASCAR Nationwide Series this year were, at best, uncertain date, but the field is racing stock still looking forward to his return to the oval tracks next month.

It's just an unfortunate situation and there no other answer. "

Addressing Racer.com, Patrick said: "If the answer was as simple as going, 'That's what I'm going to do about it, "I know that, and it has already been done. I have some ideas to take in a better direction. Currently, we are all working hard. It is not a lack of trying. "
Wherever she is in the peloton on the circuit, Danica Patrick is still a figurehead for ticket sales <a NASCAR href="http://www.stubhub.com/nascar-tickets/"> </ A> this year. His country finishes so far this year – 35th at Daytona, 31 at Fontana and 36th at Las Vegas – are nothing to get too excited, but maybe NASCAR golden girl is back with a vengeance next month, when she moves back in his No. 7 car stock.
After turning this stretch of the course today with the oval IRL, Danica Patrick will be back in action in the Nationwide Series on June 26, when it next races at Loudon. Alternating with the IndyCar race, Patrick will also be unveiled NASCAR race on July 9 in Chicago, Aug. 14 at Michigan Sept. 25 at Dover October 9 at Fontana, on October 15 in Charlotte, October 23 at Gateway, November 6 to November 20 in Texas and Homestead.
