The Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC), proud operators of Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek (SMSP), is committed to creating a lasting positive impact on the community and the environment. We are proud to spearhead sustainable practices in motorsport, and are committed to continue working towards a more sustainable future.
The Sustainable Circuits Index ranks companies based on their sustainability efforts, with a focus on reducing environmental impact. In 2022, we ranked first in Australia and 32nd in the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Reducing our carbon footprint, conserving energy, and finding new solutions to create a sustainable future for motorsport – and for the environment as a whole.
SOCIAL

The Sustainable Circuits Index
The annual Sustainable Circuits Index™ (SCI) was created in 2021 to allow those involved in motorsport to benchmark each other, to identify best practices, and ultimately to monitor the sustainable development of this segment of the industry.
