  WHAT:     The American Le Mans Series has joined the Ethanol Promotion and
            Information Council (EPIC) to make E10, "the official
            ethanol-enriched fuel" of the series.
   
            This will be the first time that ethanol-enriched fuel will be
            used in a 12 hour endurance race.

            the prestigious season-opening Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring
            (March 17) and the 1,000-mile Petit Le Mans.  All other races
            are sprint endurance formats, ranging from an hour, forty
            minutes at Long Beach to four hours at both Road America and the
            series finale at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
