TotalEnergies will take over as the World Rally Championship’s official fuel supplier for the remainder of this season.
P1 Performance Fuels went into administration last month, forcing the governing body to find a new solution to sustainably powering the WRC from next month’s Rally Islas Canarias forwards.
The new fuel will, however, only be available to FIA priority drivers on the Spanish island, but will be available to all crews thereafter.
TotalEnergies is well known to the FIA as the official fuel supplier to the World Endurance Championship.
FIA junior road sport director Emilia Abel said: “I would like to thank TotalEnergies and the FIA team for moving so quickly to make this agreement that guarantees the supply of sustainable fuel for the remainder of the season.
“TotalEnergies is a recognized supplier of sustainable fuels to the motor sport industry, and I am sure that we have found the right solution for now while we consider the longer-term options for the single fuel supplier to be selected for 2026 onwards following the tender process.
“It is never an easy situation when a supplier enters administration, but we have been able to react effectively to ensure there has been no negative impact on the competition.”
The tender to supply sustainable fuel to the WRC for 2026-28 recently closed. The FIA is currently assessing the submissions with an announcement expected soon.
