CEO ' s MESSAGE that cannot be used for animal feed – and converts them into synthetic hydrocarbons that mirror the chemistry of traditional petrol.
The result is a fuel that behaves identically in period engines with the same octane rating, the same combustion characteristics, and the same energy content. No modifications are needed, and no originality is lost, which is essential in a sport where the mechanical identity of each car is part of its heritage value. The blend was available at key refuelling points across the route, from Carmarthen to Kielder, and could deliver greenhouse-gas savings of up to 35 per cent compared with standard fossil petrol.
Not all victories in motorsport are won on the track or stage. I am delighted to share that Motorsport UK has placed third overall in the 2025 Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports( GSBS) study – finishing just behind winners Formula E, and ahead of other major international sporting organisations.
The GSBS provides the sports industry with a clear, comparable and data-driven evaluation of organisational performance, translating complex environmental, social and governance measures into meaningful insight. This year’ s benchmark assessed 78 organisations across 11 countries and 11 sports, using more than 1,700 indicators to evaluate how each manages sustainability, discloses information, and delivers impact. Our strong performance across every category places us firmly among the global leaders in sport sustainability.
This achievement reflects not only our organisational commitment but the collective effort of our entire community. Thank you to the competitors, clubs, volunteers, officials, organisers, teams and partners who have embraced our sustainability journey and championed diversity, equality and inclusion throughout the sport. Your support is driving lasting cultural change.
I would also like to extend, on behalf of the whole UK motorsport community, our deepest thanks to Jessica Runicles, our Head of Sustainability and EDI, whose leadership over the past five years has transformed our approach in this area and helped embed meaningful progress at every level of motorsport. Jess is leaving us at the end of the year to explore Southeast Asia and new opportunities in Australia – we wish her well on her travels.
Wishing all of our members a very Merry Christmas and a happy and successful New Year.
Best regards, Hugh Chambers CEO, Motorsport UK
