'Fordwater Trophy' at the 2023 Goodwood Revival
Porsche has not only developed a fully electric car Taycan in view of the current situation, but also so that the cars that are still running in the world can continue to run as gasoline engine cars in the future, and will continue to do so. We are also focusing on the development of "eFuels (synthetic fuel)" so that we can continue to make internal combustion locomotives.
Haru Oni pilot plant will be completed and opened in Chile in December 2022The plant is expected to continue to grow and develop in the future.
In the midst of this, Goodwood announced a certain race the other day, which is also commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Goodwood race and the 25th anniversary of the Goodwood revival.
That means all Porsches competing in this year's Fordwater Trophy race at Goodwood with cars built between 1960 and 1966 will run on synthetic fuel.
Inviting pre-1966 pre-1966 Porsche 911s to show how effective synthetic fuels really are in early 911s, and as a proof of concept to protect these historic cars. That's right.
Only 20 to 30 Porsche 911 cars will actually race. (*Different pages on Goodwood's official website say 20 units and 30 units, and I don't know at the moment which one is correct.)
Since the event had never used synthetic fuel before, Goodwood called the race "the first-ever historic motor race run on sustainable fuel." race)”.
