At every racing event, countless plastic bottles are used by all participants. We as the Euro Touring Series have now taken up the cause of doing something about this. Of course, we realise that we cannot banish every plastic bottle from the pits, but we can contribute to simply reducing the amount. Let`s do this together and reduce plastic bottles in our pit areas!
Our ETS family member Stefan Engelmayer from Austria had a very long and intensive discussion with us about this back in 2023. Stefan works in Technical Support PS+WD and is Head of Event Technology at BWT, which most of you are already familiar with for sure. The Austrian based company BWT is often mentioned in racing. For example, the company can be found as a sponsor on the cars of the Alpine Formula 1 team!
“BWT’s declared aim is to provide water of perfect drinking water quality all over the world. With innovative, patented BWT technologies, it is possible to filter local water and at the same time enrich it with valuable minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, zinc and silicate. Thanks to BWT, tasty, mineralised water of the best quality comes directly from the tap, water dispenser or table water filter. This saves the time-consuming transport, storage and disposal of water bottles and thus helps to reduce CO2 emissions and plastic waste.”
BWT – CHANGE THE WORLD, sip by sip!
Because of this, we as the ETS have now decided to use BWT water dispensers. From now on, we want to use the dispensers wherever we can. We have also created an extra BWT drinking bottle in the typical BWT colours with a nice ETS branding. Every ETS participant can purchase this bottle and use it every time at the ETS, and in private life. Drivers can fill the bottle at the BWT dispensers during our ETS races for a small fee, which always goes to the organising club!
The new water dispensers from BWT will celebrate their ETS debut at the season finale in Wiener Neustadt. Stefan Engelmayer himself will be there to launch this fantastic project together with us. If you are interested in one of these nice bottles, you will get it trackside at Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt, and you can also get it in advance!
In this way, we would like to support BWT’s mission “Change the World – sip by sip” and do our bit to reduce plastic waste. We hope that you like our approach and we are sure that you will support us, the local clubs, and the mission of BWT at your future ETS races!
