Motorsport and the SDGs — The Future and Reality of Sustainable Racing
Electrification, carbon-neutral fuels, tyre recycling — the 2026 frontline where the motorsport industry confronts environmental questions
How is the motorsport industry absorbing the criticism that it is a symbol of environmental destruction, and how is it trying to change? From the FIA and WRC to Formula 1 and domestic dirt trial, WSJ analyses the multiple angles at which motorsport in 2026 confronts environmental questions. Can SDG goals and motorsport coexist — World Stage Journal asks.
In 2026, the motorsport industry is confronting the proposition of environmental reconciliation more seriously than at any previous point. Formula 1 has mandated a full transition to carbon-neutral fuel (CNF) from the 2026 season; WRC introduced hybrid Rally1 machinery from 2022. The FIA is driving carbon footprint reduction across all categories through its Environment and Sustainability Commission.
