SUSTAINABILITY NEWS
Charter Signing and Accreditations received
The Scottish Association of Motor Sport Clubs, Furness District Motor Club, and Wolverhampton and South Staffs Car Club, are the latest Motorsport UK registered clubs which have achieved sustainability accreditation.
These three beacons of environmental awareness and responsibility join the other six clubs already accredited in 2025, bringing the total to 20 clubs.
Elsewhere, Omagh Motor Club is the first Rally club to be awarded the Sustainable Rally Charter for its commitment to sustainable behaviours that demonstrate a commitment to the future of rallying.
The timing could not be better for the Club with the 50th edition of the McKelvey Construction Bushwhacker Rally taking place later in September.
Upon signing the charter, clubs complete an environment impact assessment to measure the footprint of an event, through inputting their own data into Motorsport UK’ s Carbon Calculator. All Motorsport UK clubs will have access to several tools and resources as they work towards implementing sustainable objectives and goal.
Derek Graham, Club Chair, noted,“ We as a committee are delighted to be the first club to receive the Sustainable Rally Charter from Motorsport UK. This year is special for the Club as not only is it celebrating its 90th anniversary but also the popular Bushwhacker Forest Rally will be marking its 50th anniversary next month with a two-day event which also includes a special commemoration evening event to mark this historic and nostalgic occasion.”
The Sustainable Rally Charter is mandatory for all clubs running Forestry and Closed Road stage rallies in 2026.

Two environmental volunteers joined Motorsport UK’ s Sustainability Assistant Lowenna Cleary at Brands Hatch for the British GT Championship round and GB3 races. The team completed the Carbon Calculator for the event, sourcing information from the paddock. The Sustainability volunteers were also in action at Rali Ceredigion in Wales this month.
