First WEC, now Fanatec GT World Challenge: Is TotalEnergies fuel set to conquer GT racing too?
Working with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) and the SRO Motorsports Group is crucial for introducing new technologies into sportscar racing globally. TotalEnergies successfully launched its sustainable sportscar fuel, Excellium Racing 100, with the ACO, making it the control propellant for the World Endurance Championship (WEC). The collaboration extended to the WEC until 2028 and led to a deal with SRO for the fuel to be used in the GT World Challenge from 2024. TotalEnergies’ aim is to promote sustainability in GT racing, with the 24 Hours of Spa being a significant milestone for the company. Ensuring fairness and equality among competitors is a challenge for a control fuel supplier, but rigorous testing and collaboration with manufacturers have ensured a smooth transition to sustainable fuel in top-tier GT racing.
