The World Endurance Championship (WEC) and its Le Mans 24 Hours showcase will switch in 2022 to a 100% renewable fuel derived partly from French wine industry residues, organisers said on Friday

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest , which runs Le Mans, said TotalEnergies would provide a fuel with a bioethanol base, derived from wine lees and grape pomace and blended with an ethanol by-product from feedstock.

“It will have all the required qualities for a racing fuel and will meet automakers' requirements, as well as the latest FIA criteria for sustainable fuels.”“Endurance racing ... has always served as an excellent research and development platform and it is an important milestone to have the FIA World Endurance Championship switching to 100% sustainable fuel,” said Jean Todt, president of the sport's governing body.

The FIA also announced that Le Mans would return to its traditional June date next year after two editions affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
