Biofuel comp for auto apprentices NSW automative apprentices will get a chance to race against V8 Supercar drivers in a competition designed to increase awareness of biofuels. The Ethanol Sustainability Challenge, launched by Environment Minister Robyn Parker on Wednesday, invites apprentices to submit entries that show how current biofuels such as E10 and E85 have benefited their work and training. The top 10 finalists from around Australia will be flown to Melbourne where they'll spend a day with the Nissan Motorsport Team. The following day they'll take on drivers Rick and Todd Kelly on the go-kart track with the winner receiving an Ethanol Sustainability Award. Ms Parker says the challenge sends an important message about sustainability to the 13,000 apprentices and trainees working in the NSW automotive industry. "The Challenge aims to promote the increased use and acceptance of sustainable biofuels among young automotive workers," she said.
