Abstract
The development of fuels for Formula One engines is described by reference to the 1988 - 1992 Grand Prix seasons. Fuel development for both turbo-charged and normally aspirated engines is detailed, and a robust methodology is presented which enables sustainable fuel performance improvements by optimised matching to the engine combustion system.
The relevance of Formula One fuel research to commercial gasolines is described. It is shown that there are many areas of research where there are benefits arising that are directly transferable to the motoring public.
