What we learn about fuel economy on the track, helps us improve the cars we bring to the road. So when we race, everyone wins.

Motor racing is an exciting spectacle. It captures the competitive, sporting spirit of all New Zealanders from the diehard fans to families on a fun day out.

However, Holden Motorsport is also much more than winning races.

It's about using the track as a proving ground. It's about taking what we learn from the track to not only develop better drivers and better racing cars but better passenger cars too. Safer, lighter, more aerodynamic, more fuel efficient passenger vehicles.

When we learn how to reduce mass, improve aerodynamics and perfect engine calibration on the track we take this knowledge to help us do the same on the road.

E85. Alternative fuel. Seeking alternative fuels is another way we bring the racetrack and the road together. All V8 Supercars started using e85 (85% ethanol fuel) at the start of the 2009 season and we’ve been gathering all the data from this switch to help perfect our first e85 Commodore which we’ll release next year.

All these factors combine to bring New Zealand cars that offer better fuel efficiency, lower emissions and are cheaper to run.

These are just a few of the many reasons why motorsports are important to Holden and important to all New Zealanders both now and into the future.
