    Fuelling the Future: E10 Fuel Changes

    • Published: 4 November 2021
    Fuelling the Future: E10 Fuel Changes What are the changes? From 1st September 2021, all 95-octane petrol on sale will be E10 grade, meaning that there will be up to 10% ethanol present in the fuel. As ethanol is renewable, produced from crops rather than oil, it is seen as a greener alternative to more traditional fuels. Why does it matter?

    Fashionably late in Geneva   Remembering the 60th anniversary of the E-type launch. By Ian Cushway, 7th May 2021   Picture the scene. The date? March 16, 1961. The place, a restaurant close to the Parc des Eaux Vives with the shimmering Lake Geneva nearby creating a perfect backdrop. Overflowing flutes of fizzing champagne majestically circulating around the 200 grey suited executives, the sickly scent of Faberge Brut hanging in the cool Swiss air. Well, in truth being March t...

      • Industry News
    Just yesterday we were enjoying a view of Goodwood from a Rover SD1 touring car; today there's confirmation that the Jaguar D-Type's 60th anniversary has inspired a 30-car grid of the type for a special race at September's Revival. D-Types were regular competitors in period at Goodwood, as the evocative LAT shot of Ron Flockhart leading Desmond Titterington in 1956 demonstrates. This year the D-Types will race in the Lavant Cup and Goodwood is promising short- and long-nose cars from owners acr...
