Two-time former winner of the Indianapolis 500 Emerson Fittipaldi will take the wheel of this year's pace car at the world famous race. For the first time in Indy history, the Corvette Z06, as well as competing race cars, will be using ethanol fuel made from plant material grown here in the U.S.Since ethanol has a higher octane than gasoline, Fittipaldi will have no trouble getting to the 120 miles per hour this Corvette will need to pace the race.

Volvo Car Corporation will develop a completely new racing car in 2008 and continue its work with bioethanol (E85) and Green Racing in the STCC (Swedish Touring Car Championship).
