Net Zero Racing
We're proud to be a 100% carbon neutral racing team, demonstrating that high-performance motorsport and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
Our Sustainability Partner
To maximise the sustainability of our team and design, we partnered with TwoEighty, a leading Sustainability Consultancy. Using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, we calculated our complete carbon footprint and achieved carbon neutral status through their VCS Gold Standard Carbon Offsetting Programme.
