GREEN RACING

GLOBAL LEADER OF GREEN RACING The American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón encourages automotive manufacturers to develop and test the latest technical innovations on the racetrack. With its mission of producing sustainable, efficient and environmentally-responsible

GREEN RACING GREEN transportation solutions, the Series has successfully reduced its oil consumption and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by more than 40%* over the last five years of competition.

This reduction has been achieved through the testing of new and evolving energies such as clean diesel, renewable bio- based fuels and advanced hybrid powertrains, as well as automotive technologies including aerodynamics, the internal combustion engine, lightweight materials and tire technologies. These advancements which are accelerated when automobile SERIES & LE MANS LE & SERIES manufacturers test them in a racing environment, ultimately transfer to and improve the performance of their street car – benefiting and helping to support a cleaner, greener environment.

These significant innovations and improvements are common in the American Le Mans Series given that its technical regulations encourage the automobile manufacturers to create technical advancements and diversity. These regulations have enticed more than a dozen automobile and chassis manufacturers and four

RECORDS tire manufacturers to compete in the North American endurance racing series.

In 2008 at , the Green Challenge™ was introduced. Created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and SAE International, the Green Challenge is a race-within-a-race that measures the competitors against each other in areas such as petroleum displacement, greenhouse gas emissions and distance traveled.

From 2009 to present, Michelin joined the program and awarded the leading Prototype (LMP) and Grand Touring (GT) teams following each race with a MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge trophy for top results in energy and fuel efficiency as well as in overall performance and finish. MANUFACTURERS

The DOE and EPA similarly support the program recognizing the LMP and GT manufacturers that lead the same quest for a greener tomorrow with a season-ending championship trophy,

GREEN RACING

GLOSSARY OF GREEN RACING TERMS Cellulosic Ethanol – a biofuel produced from wood, grasses, or the non-edible parts of plants; sometimes referred to as a second generation biofuel. It has higher octane than gasoline and good combustion characteristics but is about 60% of gasoline’s energy density. Like any other ethanol, it needs to be blended with hydrocarbons like gasoline to be a practical fuel with good cold start and drivability characteristics. GREEN RACING GREEN Clean Diesel – synonymous with ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) that promotes lower particulate emissions and allows after-treatment devices to clean diesel exhaust; generic for the better-filtered (and more refined) diesel fuel.

Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) – a process that can produce a high-quality diesel fuel from natural gas, coal and biomass resources. In all cases, the clean, high octane middle distillate fuel produced from this process can be blended with today’s diesel fuel.

Greenhouse Gases – the gases present in the atmosphere which reduce the loss of heat into space and therefore contribute to increased global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, a byproduct of combustion, is by far the SERIES & LE MANS LE & SERIES most prevalent greenhouse gas. An excess of greenhouse gases can raise the temperature of a planet to dangerous levels.

GREET (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy use in Transportation) – model developed by Argonne National Laboratory to fully evaluate energy and emission impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels. It is a holistic approach, examining all the elements in the fuel production cycle from a well-to-wheel perspective.

RECORDS Hybrid – a vehicle that combines two propulsion systems to achieve better fuel economy and/or better performance than a conventional vehicle. One system uses a consumable fuel like gasoline or diesel, and another uses an on-board rechargable energy storage system.

Isobutanol – a renewable fuel that has characteristics close to that of gasoline. It can be produced from a wide range of conventional renewable feedstocks (such as sugar cane, corn, wheat and sorghum), future cellulosic feedstocks, including fast-growing energy crops (e.g. energy grasses) or agricultural by-products (e.g. corn stalks). Isobutanol shares many of the environmental advantages of ethanol and has additional benefits, including: higher energy density, fewer material compatibility problems, attractive combustion properties and the ability to be used in existing gasoline (petrol) supply and distribution channels, eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure investments. MANUFACTURERS MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge Score – score derived during a race from data that calculates energy comsumed, petroleum displaced and greenhouse gases generated by each race car. The score is used to determine the winners of the MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge and the Green Challenge™ as well.

Well-to-Wheel – a life cycle assessment of the environmental impact of a fuel from origination to consumption. TEAMS CIRCUITS SERIES 101 SERIES

GREEN RACING

UNDERSTANDING THE GREEN CHALLENGE SCORING SYSTEM GREEN RACING As it continues to strengthen its leadership position in Green Racing, the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón has implemented a simplified Green Challenge™ scoring system for 2011. Although streamlined, its goal remains the same: to objectively and fairly measure the energy and environmental impacts of the (LMP) and Grand Touring (GT) categories. The new simplified system will be used for both the DOE/EPA/SAE International’s Green Challenge™ (which awards the auto manufacturers in a season-long championship) and the MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge (which awards the best teams in each race and for the season). These awards continue to achieve the goals set in 2006 of moving motorsports toward sustainability. SERIES &LEMANS

The formula for calculating the Green Challenge score matches the new tag line for 2011:

Clean, Fast and Efficient.

It is simply: Clean factor + Fast factor + Efficient factor = Green Challenge score.

The Clean factor measures greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of oil used during the race for each car. This factor is calculated on the total life cycle basis, commonly called “well-to-wheel,” to ensure a complete and accurate life cycle assessment of their impacts. RECORDS

The Speed factor is taken from the car’s average race speed.

The Efficient factor takes the amount of energy consumed by each car, divided by its mass. Note that this factor differs from a fuel economy miles per gallon approach because it takes the weight of the vehicle into account. It measures how well the energy consumed was used to do work. MANUFACTURERS

The score is calculated for each lap of the race... for each car in the LMP and GT classes. It is designed so the smallest score wins because the Series is trying to provide the best racing in the world with the smallest environmental impact.

The key feature of this scoring system is that each car’s factors are “normalized” (or balanced) to match the speed and distance of the category (LMP or GT) leader. By normalizing scores in this way, each car is compared to the others on a fair, level playing field.

By simply looking at the Green Challenge score, fans gain insight into the race strategies of each car, the cars that are fastest or most efficient overall, and which cars have the best blend of speed and efficiency – all key factors that affect race results. The scores also show which cars leave the lightest environmental footprint under the same conditions as the leader. TEAMS

The Green Challenge adds another dimension to American Le Mans Series racing – one that is both interesting and important not only to the future of racing but also to the energy, security and economic prosperity of our nation. CIRCUITS SERIES 101

GREEN RACING

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GREEN RACING What is Green Racing?

The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and SAE International established the protocols for “Green Racing” in 2006. These groups, with a vested stake in improving and impacting transportation’s effect on the environment, believed that racing could play a role in educating the consumer. The protocols measure speed and distance traveled as well as greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. Learn more at www.greenracingcup.org. SERIES &LEMANS

What are the benefits of Green Racing?

Green Racing aims to use motorsport competition to help rapidly develop cleaner, more fuel efficient systems that can then be used in consumer vehicles. This will foster new technology development for reduced greenhouse gases (GHG), reduced exhaust pollutants and increased fuel economy. History has shown that innovations in safety, durability and performance made by race cars are often transferred to mass-produced cars. The speed at which technology development occurs in racing is up to four times faster than in normal manufacturer product development. Racing also provides the ideal laboratory and proving ground to ensure that technological improvements will be durable under the most demanding street conditions. Potential improvements from this process include innovations in alternative fuels, fuel efficiency, energy storage capacity, hybrid technology, and emission RECORDS control durability.

How is Green Racing measured?

Teams are measured by the MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge score. The most efficient car that uses the least amount of fuel and generates the smallest amount of greenhouse gases wins. Choosing – and running – the best combination of efficient technology

and fuel is the goal. The sum of these measurements results in a score. The lowest score for each race wins. MANUFACTURERS

How do teams win?

The rules of the American Le Mans Series permit many different technologies. Teams can make their selections regarding fuel, engine capacity, aerodynamics and tires to maximize their chances of winning (just as a typical consumer makes a vehicle purchase decision that maximizes their own unique blend of values and desired attributes including functionality, price, efficiency, style, image, etc.). The MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge then measures these different technology choices along with the speed and distance traveled in the race to establish a winner. TEAMS CIRCUITS SERIES 101

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SERIES & LE MANS LE & SERIES What can teams do to improve their performance?

The first strategic decision would be to select a fuel that has an advantage in lifecycle efficiency, petroleum reduction, and greenhouse gas emissions. Cellulosic E85 and other biofuels would have advantages over an E10 gasoline mix in these factors. The second strategy is to design and build a race car that uses energy efficiently and is fast, taking advantage of a technology such as direct injection, hybrid electric system or other new systems that save fuel while producing power. The third strategy is running the race itself as efficiently as possible, which can be accomplished by maintaining or increasing pace and omitting or RECORDS shortening pit stops as well as extending time between pit stops. All of these factors will help improve the score and win the race.

How is Green Racing improving the environment?

Respected studies worldwide have proven that automobile emissions are one of the leading causes of pollution and the greenhouse effect, which has had a universal impact on global conditions and the economy. When an automobile manufacturer builds more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly cars, the negative effects of these emissions and pollutants are reduced and perhaps even reversed. As the American Le Mans Series works closely with automobile manufacturers on these initiatives by developing regulations that allow the manufacturers to test them in an extreme environment like racing, it often results in accelerating the technologies in the manufacturers’ production plan and assists in demonstrating that use of such technologies MANUFACTURERS will help in the reduction of carbon emission levels.

What are some non-racing green efforts of the American Le Mans Series?

The American Le Mans Series has initiated and continues to develop programs in concert with the U.S. DOE and U.S. EPA that reinforce the importance of education and job creation as well as support the development of alternative fuels and technologies TEAMS to benefit the auto industry.

1. The Series has and continues to create on-campus program presentations with the DOE’s EcoCar Program. The program, established in 1989, is a competition in which college students work with emerging transportation technologies to modify a vehicle in ways that reduce its environmental footprint and improve fuel efficiency. Campus presentations and involvements to date have included Ohio State University, the University of Wisconsin, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Clemson University and Stanford University.

CIRCUITS 2. The Series also works with Clean Cities coalitions throughout the United States. Clean Cities is a part of the DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Vehicle Technologies program and is a network of approximately 90 volunteer coalitions that develop public and private partnerships to promote alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles and idle reduction.

3. Another initiative the Series has supported in conjunction with the DOE and Argonne National Laboratory is the development and promotion of an innovative Green Racing Simulator. The Simulator uses scoring information that mirrors the metrics as measured in the Green Challenge competition and is a teaching tool for fans during ALMS race weekends and other initiatives throughout the country.
