With the decision to use the fully sustainable fuel Renewablaze NIHON R100 from ETS Racing Fuels, Motorcycle Federation of Japan (MFJ) has achieved a major milestone in leading the motorsport industry towards a more sustainable future.

Together with four Japanese manufacturers, we have decided to introduce for the first time in global motorcycle racing a 100% non-fossil fuel. Motorsport must become a sustainable sport to be socially accepted. I am very proud to work with ETS Racing Fuels to set an important milestone.”
