The FIA’s recently-formed Environmentally Sustainable Commission held its first policy plenary to discuss proposals aimed at making motor sport more sustainable.

The Environmentally Sustainable Motor Sport Commission (ESMSC) hosted a plenary meeting in Paris on 23 June to discuss a number of policy proposals designed to make motor sport more sustainable.

The meeting brought together a large range of participants including auto manufacturers such as Ferrari, Renault, Audi, Peugeot, Ford, Porsche, VW, Toyota, Subaru, and Nissan, as well as representatives of the FIA’s regulatory Commissions and National Sporting Authorities.

In his opening address, FIA President Max Mosley, said: “It is important to demonstrate that motor sport makes a contribution. By introducing the fundamental idea of more work from less energy into motor sport, all research and development will be in parallel with the automotive industry.”

Peter Wright, President of the ESMSC, has already written to all the FIA regulatory commission presidents to allow them to explore new efficiency-driven changes that could be potentially introduced into each individual racing series.

He said: “We have a real opportunity to make a positive environmental impact with these policies whilst preserving the competition and fun of racing. If we get them right, these policies will not only reduce the environmental impact of motor sport, but also help it act as a catalyst for environmental changes in the wider motoring sector.”

The current set of proposals brought forward by the ESMSC was presented to the World Motor Sport Council in March. After approving the general framework, the Council encouraged a wider audit of the policies before they receive final approval and translation to become official FIA policy. If approved, these policies could radically change the face of motor sport, and may lead to new environmental criteria being introduced into the FIA’s licensing scheme.
