F1 Made in Britain Book - Description
As a centre of technical excellence for over thirty years, Britain is at the sharp end of the worldwide motor sport industry, and playing ever harder to win. Most of the sport’s Grand Prix teams are based in the UK and many of them have British managers and designers who act as a showcase for the UK’s skill-base – past, present and future.
The success of Britain’s Formula One industry has gone largely unrecognised outside the close-knit world of the racing aficionado. Now with Formula One: Made in Britain, Clive Couldwell explores the heart of Formula One in the UK. By talking to many of F1’s leading lights, he reveals just what it is that makes the industry tick, and what tempts the world’s players to come here.
He explores Motorsport Valley, an area which covers the south and midlands of the UK, where 75 per cent of the world’s single-seater racing cars are designed and built. Out of this British melting pot of resources and know-how have emerged some of the most influential players in Formula One today.
