Carbon Positive Motorsport is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Brick & Steel Border Counties Rally, which took place on Saturday, 10th May 2025.
“For 2025, all event organisers’ vehicles will use Carbon Positive Motorsport’s 200% offsetting package, and 35 competitors have voluntarily chosen to include carbon offsetting in their entries. Together with the emissions offset in 2024, this brings the total offset for the event over two years to approximately 30,000 kg of CO₂e, significantly contributing to the reduction of the event’s overall carbon footprint.”
