Team Aon Tests Lpg Autogas Touring Car

British Touring Car crew Team Aon, which includes driver Tom Onslow-Cole, who recently test-drove a Honda Civic Type R converted to lpg autogas with a Prins VSI system for Prins Autogas UK Ltd, has confirmed that it is converting its Ford Focus to lpg autogas for the 2010 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. The vehicle, run by Arena International Motorsport, was tested at the Guadix circuit in Spain.

“We've considered an alternative fuel source and are currently evaluating a switch to lpg to see if there are possibilities for us,” said team boss Mike Earle. “Given the increasing awareness of environmental issues, which motorsport in general needs to address, and the commercial opportunities that may exist, it makes sense for us to investigate the possibilities. The results have been encouraging but not conclusive.”
