More Problems

A day to myself and I find myself watching motorsport. This time the drags. Just like the other day the buildings that were being shown in the back ground reflected an image of utilitarianism. Easily readable; offices located above for track officials, rooms below for drivers, event organizers and marshals with no real architectural inclination for where or what this building was. It was just industrial, place less, faceless.

Here was a location in which fossil fuels were being burnt at an amazing rate, something along the lines of 20 litres of high octane fuel in less then 11 seconds. Yet the building behind did nothing to minimise its own impacts or that of the event that was taking place in front of it. I did however see a water tank…..but that hardly makes up for what was occurring.


So if the average person is starting to think heavier on their impacts on the planet and how they can minimise it, How long will it take for the motor sport industry to follow and will they?
