The billion-dollar racing industry uses high-octane fossil fuels for racing. Lately, environmentalists and governments have begun to emphasize the need for the racing industry to transition from high-octane fuels to biofuels. The concern for preserving diesel fuels comes from their non-renewable nature; However, the racing industry should not be forced to use biofuels for three main reasons: performance, profitability and high infrastructure expenses. Environmentalists believe that the racing industry is an unnecessary burden on society, that it does not serve society. any goal. But the fact is that the auto racing industry is like any other industry powered by diesel fuels, such as automobile manufacturing and aircraft development. If these two consumer goods are considered an important part of human technological innovation, there is no need to discount the auto racing industry. Based on this, we can also say that using biofuels for racing is absurd, because biofuels cannot give the thrust that racing cars need to compete. Biofuels are not high-octane in nature; diesel fuels are. Biofuel cannot be characterized as an energy-rich fuel. The use of biofuels instead of diesel will have a negative impact on the performance of racing cars, leading to heavy losses for the racing industry (The Royal Society 08). Second, using biofuels is not a cost-effective option because they are more expensive than fossil fuels. . There are approximately seven biodiesel producers in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's county commissions and North Dakota State University. Biodiesel is a blend of biofuel and diesel in a 20:80 ratio, which means the cost of biodiesel will be about $20 more... middle of paper......ness. Whatever the scenario, there is no need to force auto racing industries to use biofuels.
