Super Eco 20 at the ADAC 1000 km race at the Nürburgring

Mannheim, 20 September 2021 - "Jeder lobt was Nürburgring-erprobt." ("Everyone praises what has been tested on the Nürburgring.) That has been written in the historic paddock of the Nürburgring for decades and that is still implemented today. At the ADAC 1000 km race at the Nürburgring on 18 September 2021, the organiser's two pace cars and two historic racing cars (Porsche 911 RS and Ford Mustang from the 1970s) were powered by Super Eco 20 supplied by CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, and Mabanaft Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg. This high-performance fuel with 20 % renewable ethanol and 100 octane is climate-friendly and motorsport-proven. A first step towards CO₂ reduction, which will be followed by others.

Henning Meyersrenken, organiser of the race, on the use of Super Eco 20: "Motorsport has always been a pioneer and is now a testing ground for technology-open, climate-friendly innovations. The Nürburgring is one of the best and fastest test laboratories in the world. Here, innovations are tested for their suitability under the toughest conditions. Super Eco 20 was successfully used by two racing teams during the race weekend."

Stephan Meeder, CEO of CropEnergies AG: "Our partner Four Motors has been demonstrating for years that climate protection and racing do not have to be a contradiction in terms. We are pleased that we can also contribute to making motor sport more environmentally friendly at the traditional 1,000 km race." Renewable ethanol reduces CO₂ emissions by at least 70% compared to fossil fuel.
