Sprint Fest 2024 - A Revved-Up Return to Sentosa

Following the success of last year’s inaugural weekend, 2+1 Concepts is back with Sprint Fest 2024.

In the latest 2023 Impact Report, SGP announced a commendable 20.7% reduction in emissions from the 2022 baseline within a five-month reporting period, with total emissions amounting to 1880.80t (CO2e). This feat excludes freight, logistics, and travel by Formula 1 and its teams.

Energy is the primary source of emissions for the event. Direct emissions from fuel combustion, known as Scope 1, accounted for 46.56% of total emissions, representing a significant 40.97% decrease from the previous year.

This reduction was primarily driven by substituting diesel with low-carbon alternatives for power generators and other energy management initiatives.

In 2023, SGP powered select generators in the Circuit Park with biodiesel, including Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and increased the use of B100 biodiesel.

The plan is to extend the use of green fuels across all generators by 2028, potentially reducing energy emissions by up to 52%.

Singapore Grand Prix Plans To Halve Energy Emissions by 2028

Race organiser Singapore GP Pte Ltd (SGP) is on track to halve its energy emissions from the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix by 2028.

This move marks a shake-up in the management structure as Audi prepares for its 2026 debut.

From August 1, Binotto will take on the dual roles of chief operating officer and chief technical officer, stepping into the hot seat to drive Audi’s F1 ambitions.

This appointment comes on the heels of some major exits, with Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl and Oliver Hoffmann, previously chairman of the board of directors, departing the project.

Why the sudden change of guard? It’s simple. Audi is ramping up its F1 preparations, and it's becoming increasingly clear that tighter control and enhanced infrastructure are critical.

Currently, Sauber, the team Audi will be taking over, has yet to score a point this season - a situation Audi aims to dramatically improve.
