While both synthetic fuel and fossil fuel are burnt by a combustion engine in an identical process, they’re manufactured very differently. Gasoline is made by refining oil, whereas an e-fuel like the one made by Porsche is manufactured by harnessing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using electrolysis. There’s a lot more to it than that, as well as a unique list of pros and cons for synthetic fuels, which we previously covered in greater detail.
Back to Goodwood, though. The all-synthetic fuel race should be quite a spectacle, and it comes in a year where Goodwood has much to celebrate. This year, the Revival will also pay tribute to Carol Shelby on what would have been his 100th birthday. The event also marks the 75th anniversary of the Motor Circuit, 25 years of the Revival, and 30 years of the Festival of Speed.
The 25th Goodwood Revival will be held from 8 to 10 September this year.
