Sustaining SportWhat is motorsport’s state of play regarding sustainability and inclusivity?To try to answer this complicated question we have Tristan Niesslein of Niesslein Sustainability Partners on the show. We discuss (1) the contradictions facing motorsport’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact, (2) how it’s time for ‘stick over carrot’ on sustainability regulations, (3) questions about the source of sponsorship funds, and (4) the big issues regarding diversity and inclusivity. We perhaps raise more questions than provide conclusive answers, but it’s essential to know where we are so we know where we need to go, and there is definitely some hope for this industry to improve.Support the show2022-12-2959 min
