To anyone who dismisses 7th place overall at the 8 Hours as 'unremarkable,' I've got something to say. That's a 7th they earned carrying the burden of CN fuel while fighting through eight hours of high summer against the works teams. In the pits, both fuel and strategy are all one big experiment. There's a weight to it that can't be measured by the finishing number alone. Having watched this up close, I want to properly honor this challenge.

Curious how the development cost of CN fuel will end up reflected in production bikes.

What's actually different about carbon-neutral fuel compared to regular gasoline?

Simply put, it's fuel made from feedstock that effectively offsets its own CO2 emissions.

Even if it's not a class going head-to-head with the works teams, finishing the race is a big deal.

Carbon-neutral fuel running at a competitive level at the Suzuka 8 Hours — what an era.

Whether 7th place deserves credit really depends on factoring in the production bike's potential.

7th overall running on CN fuel is a genuinely solid result, isn't it?

Curious whether that 7th place is pure pace or more about reliability holding up.
