All emissions from fuel use will be balanced through our world-class rewilding project at Loch Ness – a commitment that brings measurable climate benefits while restoring nature in the Scottish Highlands.

Stuart Gray, Knockhill Director of Events, commented, "We are delighted to be partnering with Carbon Positive Motorsport for the 3rd running of the McRae Rally Challenge at Knockhill. We have had a long-term commitment to environmental and sustainable projects at the venue. Offsetting the McRae Rally will be a statement to all competitors, spectators, the media and fans across the country of our continuing drive towards a sustainable future for motorsport."

Visitors can find Carbon Positive Motorsport in Paddock 3, where our new Event Display Unit will make its first appearance. Alongside information on taking simple, credible climate action in motorsport, we’ll be running a competition to win a merchandise bundle and offering exclusive event discounts.

Fans will also have the rare opportunity to see a rare works specification Group A Lada Samara rally car from the 1989 RAC Rally – an evocative link to rallying’s golden era and the McRae legacy celebrated at Knockhill.
