FUTURE PROOFING SYDNEY MOTORSPORT PARK’S IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT, IN BUSINESS, AND THE COMMUNITY.

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.

In tackling this important initiative, the ARDC recognises that success is a collective effort, achieved by sharing intelligence and experiences, and working collaboratively towards a common goal. Sustainability in Motorsport is definitely an enduro – not a sprint. It is also a race with no checkered flag, as there is always more that can be done
