This book is a critical exploration of motorsport’s contribution to
‘the green transition’, understood as a societal shift towards a
fossil-free future, a circular economy, and greater social
inclusiveness. The book takes a critical look at the historical impact
of motorsport and the current business and sporting models that
determine its sustainability, as well as the innovation that might
contribute solutions to wider social and environmental problems.
Drawing on perspectives from sociology, media and sport business, the
book unpacks the complexity of stakeholder interests in motorsport
that might constrain positive change. Presenting cases and data from
Formula One, Formula E, Extreme E, the World Rally Championship,
NASCAR and the World Endurance Championship, the book considers the
technological and organizational change required to address the triple
bottom line of financial, environmental and social sustainability, and
looks at how audiences, markets, teams, governing bodies,
corporations, and state actors combine to shape the social and
economic environments within which motorsport takes place.
Representing a unique case study of the impact of elite sport on wider
society, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest
in motorsport, sport business, sustainable business, or environment,
society and culture.
