Sustainability is on everyone’s mind, and with good reason. We should be seeing global CO2 emissions decreasing, which they did in 2020 by 5% due to the COVID pandemic. But unfortunately they rebounded in 2021 by 6% and 0.9% last year.
It’s no surprise that motorsports is taking sustainability seriously; Formula 1 took this step in 2014 by adapting 1.6 liter vs turbocharged engines, incorporating hybrid technology through efficient energy recovery systems. Moreover, Formula E and Extreme E and H are using electric drive, hydrogen fuel cells and lighter, more powerful batteries. let’s re-visit some of our previous episodes and see the thoughts what influential figures in this industry think on the topic.
