E85 offers many benefits to performance enthusiasts and racers with its 105-octane rating, cooler engine temperatures, and cleaner emissions. The variations from pump to pump for street driving are negligible, but to the racer, even a small percentage change of ethanol can determine the outcome of a race if nothing is done to compensate for it. Consistency is especially important in bracket racing, where a win can be determined by thousandths of a second. E85 fuel is said to contain 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, but the fuel mixture can vary anywhere from a low of 70 percent all the way up to 85 percent ethanol, depending on the place of refinement and the season of purchase. These Quick Fuel E85 fuel testers will let you know exactly what you are pouring into your tank. They are designed to help you calibrate your air/fuel mixture. Using the testers takes only a few moments and they are simple to use. First, you add water up to the first line on the Quick Fuel E85 fuel testers, and then pour in the E85 sample up to the second line. The ethanol absorbs the water and the gasoline floats on top, revealing a definitive boundary. This boundary will lie in the graduated area of the testers, giving you the percentage of ethanol in the E85 fuel. Thanks,Dave at DGRE |

Domagoj Dukec on BMW's 2 Series [w/Video]
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Following last week's reveal of the BMW 2 Series Coupé, the carmaker has released a video featuring head of exterior design Domagoj Dukec, in which he talks us through the car's design. The video, which also features BMW product manager Thomas Ebner, sees Dukec explaining how the three air intakes at the front – which also integrate the Air Curtain technology – set a marker for the car's "sportivity", before he explores the way in which new design features such as the grille and headlamps differ from those of its predecessor, the 1 Series. Moving on to to the side profile, he discusses what makes the silhouette typically BMW and what separates it from bigger coupés, while identifying the DLO as a special feature of the 2er.
McLaren P1 back at the Nurburgring in attack mode
Sat, 19 Oct 2013The McLaren P1 is back at the Nurburgring looking to set a new record It was brave of Ron Dennis to declare – before the McLaren P1 was anywhere close to finished – that the it would be able to lap the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes. He was obviously very confident his new baby was up to the task but, just like McLaren’s current Formula One car, the P1 seems to be just a bit off the pace. Last month we reported that it seemed the best the McLaren P1 could do at the Nurburgring was a 7:04s – a time McLaren didn’t make official – so we knew McLaren would be back with their laptops and engineers as soon as they’d figured a way to trim those last few seconds.
