Motorsport and sustainability - our biggest challenge yet? We're excited to announce our partnership with Tunley Environmental, in efforts to lead the way in sustainability in motorsport. Tunley Environmental will be conducting a Business Carbon Assessment (BCA) and producing a Net Zero Roadmap, outlining our carbon footprint, and creating a plan to reduce our carbon output. We will also be measuring the impact of one of our racing vehicles. To do this, we’ll be undertaking a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our BMW 240i, identifying its carbon impact, ways to reduce it and potential ways to achieve carbon neutrality across our fleet. The BMW was salvaged from the scrapyard in 2022 and re-built to become the competitive racing car it is today. Now, Tunley Environmental experts will help identify the value of this approach and the carbon saving achieved in recycling a vehicle in this way, setting new boundaries of possibility for sustainability within racing. Team Founder Dave Player: "“This isn’t just important for us, it’s important for every race team out there. I truly believe you don’t need to have F1-sized budgets to take this seriously. We’re a small team, but we have big ambitions in everything we do. These ambitions apply to this project in the same way as they do to our racing. We’ll make progress, we’ll see change, and we’ll do everything we can to share what we’ve learned, right across our sector.” Full story here: https://lnkd.in/esU5-aJS

🚗💨 The 24 Hours of Le Mans breaks attendance records and pioneers sustainability initiatives 🌍 The 92nd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held on June 15th and 16th, set a new attendance record with 329,000 spectators. While this is fantastic news for motorsports, it poses a challenge to sustainability. Indeed, the principle of the race is simple: the car that covers the most kilometers in 24 hours wins. However, the group Stop Le Mans criticizes this event for promoting the use of private cars and glorifying excessive power—features they deem unnecessary in everyday life. Meanwhile, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), which organizes the race, has committed to reducing emissions and fostering sustainable innovation in the automotive industry. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Pledge to Environmental Stewardship: • Achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 • Reduce emissions by 30% and offset the remaining 70% • Invest €500,000 to reach carbon neutrality Initiatives to Reduce Emissions: 🌱 Green Tickets: Introduced in 2022, these tickets offer reduced prices for attendees using low-emission transportation. By 2024, this initiative covered 7% of tickets, preventing 500 to 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions. 🌱 Sustainable Tires: Emissions related to tires and fuel have been reduced to 1.4% of the event’s carbon footprint (vs 2.5% in 2019). Michelin has also developed a tire comprising 63% bio-sourced materials, currently being tested. 🌱 Sustainable Endurance Awards: Since 2021, these awards have recognized competitors' commitments to social and environmental responsibility, particularly in their participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is inspiring to witness more events, especially those historically associated with high emissions, taking significant steps toward sustainability and carbon neutrality.
