Emerson Fittipaldi: It's always very important. It can outsized too, because we have a long straight road. Chris Hansen: That's Emerson Fittipaldi, two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, talking about how he plans to drive the Corvette Z06 pace car at this years race. This year the race car as well as the pace car will be using ethanol fuel made from plant material grown right here in the US. Emerson Fittipaldi: Yeah, for me driving back in Indianapolis, the Corvette EH5, it will be a lot of fun. There would be a very important message through the world, how ethanol is good, how ethanol is efficient. Chris Hansen: In Emerson's home country of Brazil 90% of car sold are flex-fuel meaning they can run on gasoline or ethanol or any combination of both. Emerson Fittipaldi: We have done that in another countries, the energy, the renewable energy, it generates a lot of jobs on the scenarios of Brazil under developed areas. I think it's a win-to-win situation to the country and the America is doing the same. Chris Hansen: 100% of the vehicle general motors built in Brazil are flex-fuel and it has produced over 3 million E85 flex-fuel vehicles in the US. Female Speaker: We will have learned a lot from Brazil, it's really important they have gotten it right with respect to the vehicles, so we have 90%, 100% of our vehicles run on E100 in Brazil. We have good production of ethanol from sugarcane. A very efficient process that reduces CO2 emissions and uses all of the energy associated with it, and then we have distribution across Brazil. So they've got all three pieces right; the vehicles, the production of ethanol as well as distribution. I think it's a very important lesson for the United States. Chris Hansen: Because Ethanol has higher octane of gas Fittipaldi says, you will have no trouble getting to the 120 miles per hour, this Corvette will need to pace the race. In fact on this practice day he was topping out on 185. I am Chris Hansen.
