The final round of the season sees Carbon Positive Motorsport celebrating a fantastic year working with the next generation in motorsport. "As well as competing for the championship title, these juniors have been learning about the importance of keeping their sport sustainable and spreading the word about responsible racing, says Steve Smith, Founding Director of Carbon Positive Motorsport.


“The Motorsport UK Junior Rallycross Championship really shows how we can race responsibly,” he added, “For instance, a single junior event only uses about 175 litres of fuel, and by the end of the season, the entire championship will have consumed just over 1,000 litres. Thanks to our certified offsetting projects here in the UK, we’ll be offsetting around 2 to 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ both now and for the future.”
