Carbon Positive Motorsport brand ambassador Matt Edwards strengthened his Irish Rally Championship campaign with a stunning victory on the 2024 Circuit of Ireland Rally.
Co-driven by David Moynihan, the pair sealed their hard fought 14.4 seconds victory over Keith Cronin with a clever tactical tyre choice on the final two stages. Forecasting that rain was coming, the crew carried two spare wet tyres in the car to swap onto for the final two stages.
The victory at the rally was his first Circuit of Ireland win, and it was also the first time a Circuit of Ireland winner has competed with their competition fuel use carbon emissions fully offset using Carbon Positive Motorsport's international offsetting package.
Carbon Positive Motorsport director Steve Smith said, "I’m delighted for Matt to have won such an iconic and high-profile event. Given his seeding and the importance of his clever tyre choice – we will make it three first for Matt by also offsetting his event tyres using our tyre offsetting package!"
Our International Offsetting package positively offsets 200% of carbon emissions using an affordable high quality project portfolio that blends carbon offsetting and abatement projects with high quality rewilding projects within Europe.
Carbon Positive Motorsport founder, Paul Glass, added "We are delighted to be supporting Matt again this year and would like to congratulate him on his win on the Circuit of Ireland.
"We are very happy to be able to support Matt and other competitors in countries outside the EU with our international offsetting package.‘’
