Audi Sport are hoping to make Le Mans history yet again. This time they want to win the legendary 24 hour race, in a biofuel powered race car.

Audi Sport’s head of engine technology Ulrich Baretzky, commented “We want to use the R10 programme to develop combustion technology for a future target for us in the VW Audi Group. That is to go a step beyond oil and gas based fuels. As soon as possible we would like to use Biomass to Liquid (BTL) fuel. That means that we will be using synthetic fuels made from renewable sources. The best part is that the transformation process can be CO2 neutral. All of the C02 absorbed by the plant is burned. That’s environmentally friendly motorsport and we hope to introduce BTL fuel in 2008.”
