Top Story: Just Stop Oil Hits Stonehenge

Two activists from the Just Stop Oil campaign splashed orange powdered paint on Stonehenge on June 19, the day before the Summer Solstice. Their aim? To force the government into signing a treaty that would phase out fossil fuels by 2030. The stunt sparked a heated debate about the line between peaceful protest and vandalism.

Why does this matter to us? Motorsports relies heavily on fuel, and any move toward a fossil‑free future will change the whole industry. The protest shows how pressure from climate groups is building fast, and it’s a sign that the racing world may need to adapt sooner than expected.

What This Means for Racing Fans

If you love the sound of an engine, you might wonder whether electric or hybrid cars will replace traditional race cars. The answer isn’t simple, but the trend is clear: more series are testing electric technology, and sponsors are looking for greener branding.

For everyday fans, the shift could bring quieter tracks, new kinds of races, and different fan experiences. It also means there will be more conversations about sustainability at events, from recycling programs to carbon offset options.

Here are three practical things you can do right now if you want to support a greener motorsport scene:

• Choose events that have clear sustainability policies – many venues now publish carbon reduction plans.
• Cut down on single‑use plastics at the track. Bring your own water bottle and use recycling bins.
• Stay informed about new regulations. Follow our blog for updates on fuel standards and electric racing series.
