Topic outline
- Environmental Sustainability Hub
Environmental Sustainability Hub
Motorsport has long held the ability to draw in large audiences, enthralled with the spectacle of fast racing, the smell of Castrol R and noisy, internal combustion engines, but it’s no secret that in modern times, the environmental impact of motorsport has to be considered. The competition element of motorsport is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to carbon impact. There are many factors involved and everything makes a difference – from the emissions caused by driving to an event to printing out signing-on forms.
The Club has the potential to be more sustainable and as such, we are taking steps to do as much as we can practically do to protect local and global environment impacted by our activities, and support both Motorsport UK’s and the FIA’s sustainability strategies.

Although SMMC does not organise motorsport events, we do support many events and it is critical that we manage and minimise our own environmental impact.
