NEW YORK - Motor racing, a sport known for flashy, petrol-guzzling racing cars speeding at hundreds of kilometers per hour across twisting asphalt tracks, has not been a pastime known for sustainability.
Formula One is trying to change that.
Often referred to as "the pinnacle of motorsport", the organization, which hosts an annual championship featuring the best drivers in the world, has seen its carbon emissions drop 26 per cent since 2018.
At the end of the 2024 season, the sport's carbon footprint fell to 168,720 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent from 228,793. F1 said in a statement on July 23 that it is halfway towards achieving its minimum 50 per cent reduction target, as set out in its "net zero by 2030" commitment.
