This has come up before on here. VP do not make Werks fuel (as others have pointed out).
They "blend" the fuel for Werks Racing - which contains Werks Racing's proprietory lubrication package as supplied to VP by Werks Racing - which is far in advance of most others out there.
When you change to Race Blend 30% you will find you need to lean your engine quite a bit, due to the extra methanol content now passing through your engine. The oil content in the race Blend is a "trade secret" as such, but suffice to say it is lower than most - hence the extra power producing and engine cooling methanol per cylinder charge. This fuel DOES perform spectacularly, while also providing brilliant engine lubrication during and after use.
Changing to Werks Race Blend fuel will result in much cooler running temps, a crisper more powerful engine (particularly bottom end), faster spool up, and a lovely protective coating of a modified caster blend left in the motor after running.
We have done extensive testing here (as we import and sell the Werks fuel locally), and IMO opinion, and in the opinion of a huge number of our customers, the Werks Race Blend 30% is one of, if not the premium off-road fuel currently available out there.

Ronan, I was using VP Pro before i imported a small batch from Werks Racing NZ to try it for my self and see what all the hype was about. Now I have just taken delivery of 2400ltrs of Werks Race Blend 30% fuel, I was that impressed I had to get this fuel here so we could have a constant supply. This fuel lives up to the hype period.

Nice work on the fuel Wade.
It's great to see the Race Blend product now readily available across the Tasman Sea in Australia.
With Race Blend 30% fuel now in Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia - Werks Racing has the South Pacific region pretty well covered.
The rapid spread in the popularity of this fuel in the South Pacific region has to tell you something about the unique quality of this product.
The Race Blend 30% simply sells itself with on track performance and super positive consumer feedback from one customer to the next.
Get Werks, or get worked

Cheers mallee, it's mainly because the oil in Werks fuel has a much higher flash-point than most fuels, so it should (theoretically) yield better lubrication, resulting in better performance and longer engine life. I am confident that VP Powermaster is a great fuel, I've never had any issues with it, and nor have any of the guys at my track. I guess my reasoning is that I should try different things to see what works best for me, and I hear only good things about Werks fuel (not saying I hear bad things about VP, but I don't hear much at all - good or bad). Neal from Clockwork Racing Engines recommends Werks fuel not only for his modified engines, but also in general. Again, I have no issues with VP, I just want to try Werks to see how it performs. I'm using a Hudy FX engine which is OS based, so 30% is deffs the way to go.

Put some old fuel in a jar, add some new and leave it over night, do the same with after run and check it doesn't coagulate (turn to blobs) or precipitate (create solids)
It's probably a good time for a tear down and bearing flush.
