Race cars powered by wine fuel

Race cars will run on leftover wine

Automakers and energy giants are rethinking the environmental impact of motorsports, so much so that next year’s edition of the world’s oldest endurance race will be won in a car powered by wine dregs.

Oil major TotalEnergies SE said Aug. 20 that it’s developing its own 100% renewable fuel for motorsport which will be introduced from next year, including at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, where the car that covers the greatest distance in a full day wins.

Will there be any left over wine?

Not a fan of wine

Imagine if it ran on whiskey I would arrive at a home stick in a straw into the tank and enjoy if it doesnt have the feature allowing you to pull liquid from the tank

The so-called advanced ethanol fuel is made in part with residues from the French wine industry, such as wine lees and grape pomace.

Because it is sludge.

It's the grape must from a 6 year old Chablis, not good for much else.
