The First Test of Domestic E10 Fuel at SUPER FORMULA

In an exciting development for motorsport, a pioneering test utilizing domestic cellulosic ethanol blended low carbon gasoline, known as E10, is set to take place at Fuji Speedway from September 9 to 11, 2025. This marks the first time this innovative fuel will be employed in a domestic racing environment, showcasing a significant step towards achieving sustainability in motorsports.

The event is organized by Japan Race Promotion, which manages the SUPER FORMULA series, known for being the fastest racing category in Japan, second only to Formula 1. This test aims to explore the performance abilities of E10 fuel under race conditions, alongside other critical vehicle components, including tires and steering systems.

Key professionals from various media outlets are invited to cover this three-day event, and a dedicated media conference will be held on September 10, where reporters can engage with industry figures and gain insights into the developments surrounding this new fuel type.
