Fundamental to all events organized by ACM are the Norwegian Motorsport Association's environmental guidelines .
FIMs Environmental Code has been a great inspiration in the design of ACM's environmental requirements.
The environmental manager during the event is the race director, practice manager or course leader. The person responsible may be criminally liable for serious violations of the Norwegian Pollution Control Act.
Authority to ensure that the requirements are complied with and to implement measures can be delegated to others, normally to the technical inspector. The technical inspector will pay particular attention to current noise requirements, as well as the handling of residual waste and environmentally hazardous waste, including discarded tires.
Violation of ACMs regulations may result in denial of participation.
The following applies to all races, practice sessions and courses under the auspices of ACM:
