Report - Caterham F1 Headquarters - Oxfordshire June 2016

[CookieRaider]

I found out about this place way back in 2014, but put it on the back burner for a while. I mentioned it to Mookster last year after filming a video of my friends car outside the place, but only attempted it recently and it paid off. Was a strange place to explore, being so clean and clinical everywhere.



To save a lengthy post on the not-so-lengthy history of the Caterham F1 Team and it's very messy collapse and end, here is a very detailed article explaining exactly what happened -

Two drone shots, these just show the scale of the place.

We then found the old simulator room, sadly the car chassis has been removed.

Nice pics man! I remeber when me and my pal did this place as they where auctioning stuff off on site (as thats where they held the auction) people showed up in vans and lorries and bought tables desks u name it they bought it. And there was a couple cars auctioned aswell. We only went to the auction to have a unofficial mooch about.

The dell supersever went back to dell in usa and the simulator is now at McLaren F1

Place is not even worth putting the fuel in the car for now.
