A very good question indeed Victor. I'm not quite sure how the whole isobutanol situation would work at LM. Remember in 2010 the Drayson Lola ran on E85 in ALMS but had to run on the conventional petrol at LM that year. My money would be on Dyson having to run on regular petrol for this year. That is unless the fuel has already been approved by the ACO.
Also, could we see fuel issues re-surface with the Mazda MZR engine this year? 2009 was not a good year for Mazda in terms of reliability, since then Dyson have been running bio fuels as far as I'm aware. How much would a potential switch back to regular petrol affect not just reliability but engine performance as well?
