TotalEnergies and SRO Motorsports Group

TotalEnergies is proud to have been a partner to SRO Motorsports Group for almost 20 years and contribute to the energy transition begun by the world GT racing specialist by supplying Excellium Racing 100, its fully-sustainable biofuel, to the main championships organised by SRO Motorsports Group, such as the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe – including the famous Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa Powered by TotalEnergies – and the Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia.

SRO Motorsports Group: The pinnacle of GT racing

Each year, SRO Motorsports Group organises 16 championships and some 120 races. The Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe and Asia Powered by AWS series are undoubtedly the flagship events run by SRO Motorsports Group. Featuring a mix of one-hour Sprint races and Endurance races lasting three hours, these championships serve up consistently-strong line-ups – with ten different GT manufacturers contesting the series in 2025 – and deliver high-quality on-track action. The races are also held at various well-known race tracks in Europe (Paul-Ricard, Brands Hatch, Misano, Hockenheim, Nürburgring, Magny-Cours, Monza, Barcelona, etc.) and Asia (Sepang, Fuji, Suzuka, Shanghai, etc.). The showpiece of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe remains without question the Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa, at which TotalEnergies is a longstanding partner. Both entities celebrated their centenary in 2024! An equally positive assessment may be made of the Fanatec GT2 European Series and the GT4 European Series Powered by RAFA Racing Club, where the majority of the races are held as part of Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS events, and the French FFSA GT Championship, which is contested on France’s best race tracks (Nogaro, Lédenon, Magny-Cours, Dijon-Prenois, Paul-Ricard).

Excellium Racing 100: a certified fully-sustainable biofuel

For TotalEnergies, track racing provides perfect open-air testing conditions and is an essential driver of innovation, because the extreme pressures and constraints at these events push us to develop increasingly efficient fuels, underpinned by technology that may one day find its way into production models. The company is determined to be aligned with the current preoccupations of manufacturers: consume less and reduce your ecological footprint.

Excellium Racing 100 fuel – introduced in 2024 in the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe and Asia Powered by AWS – meets these requirements by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Excellium Racing 100 was born out of a determination to combine performance and efficiency. This certified^* fully-sustainable biofuel was introduced for the first time in the FIA World Endurance Championship in March 2022. Designed and distributed by TotalEnergies, Excellium Racing 100 is made mainly using wine residues from the agricultural industry.

Given that it is made exclusively from biomass sources, Excellium Racing 100 helps to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the vehicles on track by at least 65%^**. Thanks to the expertise of our engineers, Excellium Racing 100 reflects the shared values of TotalEnergies and SRO Motorsports Group: this truly-innovative product is helping to deliver the two entities’ determination to decarbonise motorsport. It thus reflects TotalEnergies’ pioneering spirit and its appetite for performance.

(^*) Excellium Racing 100 is certified as fully sustainable according to the International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) mass balance system.

(^**) In line with the methodology set out in the revised EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) published in 2018/2021, Excellium Racing 100 reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 65% compared to its fossil fuel equivalent.
