UK motorsport carbon offsetting

Race hard. Leave nothing behind.

Work out the carbon footprint of your race weekend, track day or test day. Offset it, then get a QR certificate that anyone can verify.

How it works

From the grid to a certificate in four steps

No spreadsheets. Enter what you drive and how long you run it, and RCN does the maths.

  1. Car

    Describe your car

    Pick your car group and enter engine size (cc) and power (bhp). Each group carries its own emissions multipliers.

  2. Track time

    Log your time on track

    Add the minutes you run, whether it is a championship round, a track day or a test day. Championship entries add 30 kg for every tyre.

  3. Offset

    Offset the footprint

    Your total falls into a price band. Pay the band and your offset is recorded.

  4. Certificate

    Share your certificate

    You get a certificate with a QR code. Anyone who scans it lands on a public page that confirms it is real.

Calculator

Know your number before you race

This is the same method RCN uses in the app. Choose a car group, enter your figures and watch the footprint update.

Certificates

A claim anyone can check

Every RCN certificate carries a QR code that opens a public verification page, so a sponsor, scrutineer or fan can confirm it in seconds.

  • 01

    Scan to verify

    The QR code opens the certificate's own page on the RCN platform. No account is needed to check it.

  • 02

    Tied to a real offset

    A certificate is issued against a calculated footprint and a recorded offset, so the number on it can be traced.

  • 03

    Made to be shown

    Put it on the car, in the programme or in a sponsor deck. The QR code does the convincing.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Racing Carbon Neutral?

RCN is a UK platform where drivers, teams and spectators calculate the carbon footprint of motorsport, offset it, and receive a certificate that can be verified online. Championship organisers can run it under their own brand.

How is my footprint calculated?

Each car belongs to a group with its own multipliers. Grams of CO₂ per minute is your bhp times the group's bhp multiplier, plus your cc times the group's cc multiplier, divided by two. That is multiplied by your minutes on track. Championship entries add 30 kg per tyre, track days add 12 kg and test days add 60 kg.

Is the calculator on this page my final figure?

No. It is an estimate using the same method. Your certified figure is calculated when you register an entry in the app.

How much does it cost?

Your total footprint falls into a price band, and each event type has its own bands. Every band and its price is listed in the pricing section of this page.

What does the certificate show?

It records the footprint that was calculated and the offset that was made. Its QR code opens a public verification page on the RCN platform.

Can my championship run RCN under its own name?

Yes. Organisers get a branded portal with their own name, logo and colours, plus entries and offset totals for their grid. Get in touch to set one up.

Which languages does this site support?

English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. Use the language switcher in the header.
