 Green Racing is Real, Ultra-Competitive and Makes for Great Racing
Some may only take steps to be green around Earth Day (April 22), but the American Le Mans Series is green year-round and it brings its unique, eco-conscious style of racing back to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca May 11-12.
The American Le Mans Series is the only racing series recognized to comply with the green racing protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and SAE International (SAE). These organizations see green racing as a way to foster technology developments for tomorrow's production vehicles, enhance national energy security and reduce carbon emissions. The partnership demonstrates that advanced automotive technologies and renewable fuels can meet the performance requirements of even the most demanding endurance racing conditions and can be readily transferred from raceway to driveway.
There are two green racing competitions at every American Le Mans Series race: the Green Challenge aimed at vehicle manufacturers and the Michelin Green X Challenge aimed at teams. Both use a unique scoring system that rewards high performance on the race circuit, energy efficiency and the smallest environmental impact. 2011 winners for the Green X were Dyson Racing (LMP) and BMW Team RLL (GT) and the Green Challenge Champions (engine manufacturers) were Mazda (LMP) and BMW (GT).
