For a sport that generally provides such a tremendous assault on all the senses, the notion of sustainability can seem a little alien. The idea of being environmentally friendly and responsible in a racing world portrayed in some quarters as a gas-guzzling hobby for the rich can seem like two mutually exclusive concepts.
But, like all sports, motorsport cannot simply ignore the sustainability question. After all, we have seen how it can be an easy target for protestors – think of the terrible scenes of some ‘eco-warriors’ breaking onto the circuit at the British Grand Prix in 2022. And that is why it’s very encouraging to see governing body Motorsport UK tackling the issue head-on.
