Scuderia Corsa have also been the first to announce an environmental programme to offset their emissions throughout the 2014 season, as team principal Giacomo Mattioli explained: “Scuderia Corsa is proud to be the first racing team in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship Series to have implemented a voluntary carbon offset program.
“Developed with our new sponsor AitherC02, the program invests in environmentally significant programs to help offset the carbon footprint of our racing activities. We are glad to support IMSA in their green efforts but of course none of this would be possible without the continued support of our sponsors: Motorola Mobility, New Country Auto Group and Ultratech.”
The 2014 TUDOR Championship begins with the Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26.
