“In a groundbreaking move towards environmental responsibility and sustainability, Knockhill Racing Circuit has made a resolute commitment to address carbon emissions within its esteemed car racing championships. Announcing a renewed partnership with fervor and purpose, the iconic West Fife venue has once again joined forces with the Knockhill Motor Sports Club (KMSC) in a collaborative effort to enact positive change. This ambitious alliance sees Knockhill Racing Circuit aligning its vision with that of Carbon Positive Motorsport, as they embark on a transformative journey to mitigate the environmental impact of their racing activities. With a steadfast determination to lead by example, the partnership sets an ambitious target: to achieve an unprecedented 200% carbon offsetting for KMSC racing by the year 2026. This bold initiative not only underscores Knockhill Racing Circuit’s unwavering commitment to sustainability but also paves the way for a brighter, greener future in motorsport.”
The collaboration kicks off with this year’s Scottish Legends Championship, where Knockhill pledges to underwrite the entire legends grid’s carbon footprint every race weekend. Additionally, drivers will have the opportunity to voluntarily contribute £5 or £10 towards offsetting their racing and travel mileage, further bolstering the initiative. This proactive approach ensures that Scotland’s premier motorsport hub is not just racing for victory, but racing for the planet.
Stuart Gray, the visionary director of events at Knockhill, and also the esteemed chairman of KMSC, radiates enthusiasm as he reflects on the ongoing partnership with Carbon Positive Motorsport. In an expression of unwavering commitment and foresight, Gray underscores the pivotal role this collaboration plays within the broader framework of the circuit’s comprehensive sustainability program. “We are absolutely delighted to continue our partnership with Carbon Positive Motorsport,” Gray declares with palpable excitement. “This partnership is not merely a transactional agreement; it is a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible racing practices.” Gray’s passion is evident as he articulates the circuit’s ambitious goal: to achieve full carbon offsetting for all car racing events hosted at Knockhill by the year 2026. This bold aspiration, he emphasizes, represents a significant stride forward in their journey towards sustainability and serves as a testament to their dedication to leaving a positive impact on the environment. With unwavering determination and a clear vision for the future, Knockhill Racing Circuit stands poised to lead the way in championing sustainability within the motorsport industry.
Carbon Positive Motorsport echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that 100% of competitors’ estimated carbon footprint will be immediately offset using certified carbon reduction units generated through reforestation initiatives. Looking ahead, the partnership aims to leverage the “world-class” Loch Ness Project to further offset emissions, fostering enhanced biodiversity and environmental benefits across Scotland.
