The UK is well-known for its aerospace engineering industry, and the government’s continued investment in the sector means it is regarded as ‘world-class’.
The precision engineering that has given Red Bull a big advantage over its rivals has turned championships into processions. But is the gap narrowing?
There are many similarities between aerospace and aeronautical engineering, but the difference between the precision engineering sectors can be explained here.
When one motorsport team makes the best car with the best gears, handling and engine, either other teams try their hardest to keep up or they get it banned.
Taking part in the elite world of motorsport requires advanced technology, exceptional teamwork and professionalism, none of which were possessed by Hans Heyer.
Factory teams typically have huge budgets and access to the finest technologies in motorsport but Lotus’ ill-fated Elise GT1 project became an ignoble swansong.
Motorsport is a fantastic, brutal shakedown of new automotive technology but whilst active suspension and traction control made it to road cars, others did not.
The technology used to make precision motorsport components is typically bespoke, making the case of three teams racing the exact same car extremely unusual.
