Low Carbon Racing

AR Motorsport are highly conscious of the fact that motor racing produces carbon emissions, which, if it wasn’t for the will of the competitors, would not otherwise be emitted. This is coupled with an acute awareness, due to Andy’s day job as an M&E Services Engineer, of the importance of carbon emissions being addressed and reduced as far as possible.

For this reason, AR Motorsport have and will continue to invest in carbon offsetting projects to redress the balance of the CO2 directly emitted by our activities. This year the initiative has planted 5 trees in projects involving local schools in the Northwest of England to offset the equivalent CO2 of all of the race fuel and transport fuel consumed during the season by AR Motorsport.

Further measures include ensuring that as many replacement parts are reused from existing cars rather than made new and the used tyres are disposed of via environmentally friendly routes and where possible re-processed into activated carbon and alternative fuels.
