MacG Racing announced today a partnership agreement has been signed with Coryton to supply SUSTAIN race fuels for 2024 and beyond. We are thrilled to welcome them on board.
Coryton is a UK-based manufacturer we have collaborated with previously and MacG Racing was blown away by their quality and capabilities. SUSTAIN logos will appear on the MacG Racing cars and the team will be running SUSTAIN Racing 50 fuel in our cars for the 2024 season.
Driven by its mission to create a cleaner future, Coryton supplies specialist and renewable fuel solutions to a range of forward-thinking customers. As the leading supplier of bespoke fuels, Coryton’s team of experts make over 4,000 unique blends each year. It provides fuel for everything from race cars to jet engines, creating a range of pioneering products to globally recognised standards. Combining world-leading chemistry, collaborative partnerships and a passion for innovation, Coryton is dedicated to developing the most advanced fuel technologies in the world.
SUSTAIN was launched by Coryton, in 2021 as part of its mission to create a cleaner future. The pioneering brand focuses on developing responsible and sustainable fuels that contribute towards the push for net zero impact. To do this, SUSTAIN uses advanced second-generation biofuel manufactured from agricultural waste, such as straw, by-products or waste from crops which wouldn’t be used for consumption.
Through products such as SUSTAIN Racing and SUSTAIN Classic, SUSTAIN has already celebrated some fantastic milestones in the motoring industry and it plans to continue this success long into the future.
SUSTAIN RACING 50 Fuel details

- Created with 50% renewable content
- Delivers a GHG saving of more than 35%, compared to fossil fuels
- 102RON, for high octane applications, EN228 Compliant
- Premium deposit control additives reduce existing deposits and maintain engine cleanliness and performance with regular use

The fuels range from 33% sustainable content to 80%. David Richardson, director at Coryton, the company behind SUSTAIN fuels, explains why:
“Every kilogram of CO2 we avoid adding to our atmosphere, by replacing fossil fuel with sustainable fuel, is a win. We don’t instantly have to go for the full switch to start making a genuine impact. As more feedstocks become available, these fuels will start to contain even higher levels of traceable sustainable elements. However, we want to keep things affordable for consumers and be open about what’s actually achievable at the moment.
The availability of true fossil free fuel components is limited. So, we’re setting truthful and realistic goals, producing fuels that have a meaningful impact whilst meeting the demands of the user. While we could use ‘mass balancing’ techniques to certify this fuel as 100%, we believe that it is important to be open about technology readiness and traceability. The industry will get there with the right support – which is why we think it’s important to start getting these products into the hands of consumers so they can see how easy and effective the switch could be.”
Jonny MacGregor, MacG Racing Technical Director, commented, ‘We are incredibly excited to announce this partnership with Coryton. It’s important to us at MacG Racing that we are doing the right thing where possible, and we believe the move to sustainable fuels is a core part of the solution for a carbon-free future. We are excited to be collaborating and partnering with Coryton and using their Sustain Racing 50 fuel in our cars this season. With a 50% sustainable element in the fuel, it’s a huge reduction in carbon footprint, and it has been shown to perform exceptionally well in testing and on the dyno.’
David Richardson, director at Coryton, commented, ‘Partnering with MacG Racing provides an exciting opportunity to further showcase our SUSTAIN Racing fuel in high-performance motorsport. Sustainability is a huge focus within the industry, as it should be, and it is important that people get to see sustainable fuel in action. It is a solution which can make a genuine difference in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, without needing to compromise on performance, or requiring a whole new set up. We’re delighted to be working with MacG Racing this season, which will help us to continue the development of our SUSTAIN fuels as part of the wider movement towards a more sustainable future in motorsport.’
