The Otago Rally will be carbon neutral. Motorsport New Zealand has established an environment sustainability fund to help offset the sport’s carbon emissions and the Otago Rally will be the first event of its kind in New Zealand to offset its competitors’ carbon emissions. It has pledged to contribute to the fund for the duration of this weekend’s rally as well as the two days of competitor reconnaissance. The fund is aimed at delivering environmental projects which will offset the carbon dioxide emissions produced in motorsport. Motorsport New Zealand acting CEO Elton Goonan is delighted to see Otago Rally volunteering to contribute to the new fund.
