Our race cars will be running on the renewable, sustainable, environmentally friendly fuel blend - E85 - Bio-Ethanol.
We aim to prove that our race cars running on Bio-Ethanol are efficient, environmentally friendly, reliable and capable of high performance, winning races and winning championships.
Our race-cars will not only produce significantly less carbon emissions than their road bearing counterparts but the team's unique approach toward climate change will set the pace in BTCC by running our entire season "Carbon Neutral". This includes test, practise, qualifying and race mileage for both cars, plus the neutrality of the entire team activities, from the carbon associated with team transportation to the car journeys made by our team personnel.
Team CVR was founded with the vision to enter the HIQ MSA British Touring Car Championship as an independent, professional, environmentally efficient, race-winning team. The team operates a zero carbon policy throughout, with race cars running on bio fuels. Team CVR works with R&D partners to showcase reliable technologies that will ultimately benefit all motorists through more efficient vehicles, sustainable fuels and the use of environmentally friendly materials.
Team CVR is working with co2balance to implement its zero carbon policy, minimising emissions from its entire operation and offsetting any balance though energy efficiency projects in Africa, which will provide fuel-efficient stoves to local communities, allowing Team CVR to race ‘carbon zero’. Team CVR should not be perceived as 'just another race team.'

Team CVR should not be perceived as 'just another race team.' At launch, Team CVR is the only race team in Europe to take this approach, the only race team created solely with the intention of showcasing the performance, reliability and environmental advantages of new fuels, technology, and ongoing R&D. Team CVR will contest the 2009 HIQ MSA British Touring Car Championship with Gordon 'flash' Shedden teaming up with Dan Eaves.
"Team CVR firmly believes it has all the key ingredients to win the coveted Independent BTCC title with Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing."

Underneath the red, white and blue CRS racing livery on the GT2 Ferrari lies a thoroughbred, red-blooded racing machine. The basic body shell looks like a 430 roadcar but the many aerodynamic ‘extras’ give just a taste of what is under the skin. The chassis is packed full of state-of-the-art racing parts including an uprated engine for 2008 with a new aspiration system, more horsepower and better torque. The GT2 430 is the best GT car Ferrari has to offer and arguably the best GT2 race car in the world.
CR Scuderia (CRS) is a British racing team, based in Leicestershire and founded in late 2007. CRS Team Principal, Chris Niarchos, has been involved in motorsport since 2003 when his company, The Cobra Group plc, first entered the sport as a sponsor and he began his own racing career. CRS was borne from Chris' passion for the sport and a strong desire to be the best.
In 2008 the team will take on the task of racing two Ferrari 430 GT2 cars in the FIA GT Championship, three Ferrari 430 GT3 cars in the British GT Championship and four cars in the Formula Renault UK Championship. With 14 drivers to run in the nine race cars, and around 30 races to compete in during a nine-month racing season, the team has exciting and ambitious plans for its first year of competition.
