MMKMC is committed to the protection of the environment, reducing the detrimental impact of its events on the environment and improving the sustainability of motorsport in the UK.
We ask for everyone’s support in this, and ask you to follow these actions to manage these significant environmental aspects during any event we organise and you take part in:
Waste – We make every effort to eliminate or reduce waste from all events, and ask you to do the same. Please avoid printing unnecessarily and ensure that any waste you produce is taken home. Do not leave anything at the venue or en-route, please take it home to dispose of, and to recycle whenever possible.
Consider that livestock and other people use the venues we use so avoid leaving any waste, including biodegradable food and cigarette butts. We need to act with respect to the landowners to retain their support for future events.
Noise -Motorsport UK legal noise levels are required at all times, unless a lower level is specified in supplementary regulations. If your vehicle noise is found to be excessive by the organisers you will be asked to reduce noise to acceptable levels. Please drive considerately whenever on the public road and in sensitive areas.
Land, water and air protection – We must protect the event sites and routes from environmental damage. Measures taken to reduce land damage include consideration of weather conditions, autotest layouts and permitted tyres. MMKMC event regulations include permitted tyre types and organisers have the authority to decline any tyres they deem to be unsuitable or potentially land damaging.
If any spillage of any quantity of any hazardous liquid/material occurs report it immediately to MMKMC, and use a spill kit/drip tray quickly. We strongly recommend the use of ground sheets for all competitors in paddock areas and spill kits be carried. We are trialing the use of environmentally friendly spill granules.
Refuelling should not be necessary at events and we strongly recommended avoiding this. If it is required it should only be done with the authorisation of MMKMC and with appropriate measures in place to avoid any spillages.
Whilst emissions testing is not undertaken at events if your vehicle is deemed by the organisers to have excessive emissions you will be asked to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Environmental awareness – MMKMC aims to promote environmental sustainability as widely as possible, to our friends and associated organisations in Motorsport, and to the public. We encourage you to spread the word about what we are doing and share any ideas to further improve with us.
