Super2 and Super3 will intro E75 in 2024
Supercars has announced it will introduce E75 Racing Fuel into the Dunlop Super2 and Super3 Series in 2024.
The new lower carbon fuel contains more than 80 per cent of second-generation fuel components sourced from renewable feedstocks.
The bp E75 Racing Fuel was implemented into the Repco Supercars Championship at the start of 2023, while the Dunlop series will continue using E85 fuel for the remainder of the season before making the switch.
Dunlop Super2 and Super3 teams will have plenty of time to prepare for the change, with Supercars CEO Shane Howard pleased with the fuel’s wider introduction.
“The Dunlop Series, which in 2023 has one of its largest fields ever, will continue to use bp’s E85 fuel for the remainder of this season before transitioning to the bp E75 Racing Fuel in 2024,” Howard said.
“The confirmed timeline of the introduction of bp E75 Racing Fuel to the Dunlop Series confirms that other technical changes required in the Car of the Future Supercar engines that suit the new blend will not be required until the start of 2024.
“This confirmation ensures teams will have time to make the required alterations and test the new fuel product in their Car of the Future Supercars prior to the 2024 Series.”
In addition to the fuel changes, Supercars has also updated the fire suppression system and relocated the oil catch can vent to the rear of the car, all of which will be mandatory from 2024.
The 2023 Dunlop Super2 and Super3 Series next hits the track at the Penrite Oil Sandown 500 at Sandown Raceway on 15-17 September .
