Carless “Petrol” enables “1,000 Miles Trial” success
The heritage of our motorsport activities goes all the way back to the end of the 19th century. At this time in the UK, Carless’ motor fuel “Petrol” was used by the majority of motorists. Since the introduction of auto racing events, “Petrol” quickly achieved an excellent reputation and became the preferred fuel.
Carless became a founding member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain in 1897, which was renamed Royal Automobile Club (RAC) six years later. In April 1900 they organised the most spectacular and ambitious event of that time: The “1,000 Miles Trial” - 15-day event linking Britain's major cities, in order to promote this novel form of transport.
The majority of the 65 cars that took part used Carless “Petrol”. Of these, 23 finished including the 12-horse-power Panhard driven by the Honourable Charles Stewart Rolls, a motoring and aviation pioneer and co-founder of the Rolls-Royce car manufacturing firm. C.S. Rolls used Carless “Petrol” exclusively and won the premier award for the best performance by a privately owned automobile.
Back then as today, racing teams and event organisers trust our unique racing fuel formulations. Haltermann Carless develops, produces and delivers high-performance racing fuels and value-added services – wherever needed.

Aromatic Solvents for Fuel Additives
Fuel additives play a major role in modern fuels, as the active molecules can further optimise and improve performance. To combine all these different molecules in one additive formulation, a strong solvent as carrier fluid is needed. For decades, fuel additive formulators rely on Haltermann Carless aromatic solvents to meet their needs.
