Flash switches to Bio Ethanol

By

Flash Engineering with previous STCC-champions Janne “Flash” Nilsson and Richard Göransson will run their BMW 320si E90 on E85 Bio Ethanol. This is the second team choosing to run their cars on the environmentally friendly fuel, the Volvo team being the other team.

“I would really like to become the first to win a national racing class on ethanol,” Flash said.

There is no performance advantage expected from the E85 switch, but that would not be the reason for the switch anyway according to Flash.

“Not at all, it is about the environment. Since it is possible to make the motorsport more environmentally friendly, we will make the most of it. It is a good decision by STCC AB to promote ethanol and it is a good decision by Flash Engineering to use it.”
