F1 Factory Visit. Engineering Heaven!

[Rich_p 23]

A good friend of mine worked for Jordan/Force India for many years until moving on to a new team at the end of the year. I've been to the factory numerous times but visited again at the end of last season.

 

I took some pictures and the engineering is awesome. I think I'd like some of the items on display at home!

 

I'll share some with you all as it's the type of thing I think you'll enjoy!

Nice! But are you sure you're allowed to post these pics on the internet? You don't want to get your mate fired!

 

Very interesting rocker arrangement inside the gearbox.. I take it the dampers lie next to the clutch and attach to the engine, or something like that?

All were last years cars and he has now moved to another of the F1 teams so I think we're safe!

'SCRAP'? I'll take it!

 

Those hubs are a work of art

The uprights are pretty nice, too!

Very nice, puts my little home set up to shame that's for sure.

Wow, lovely stuff!

 

I must admit I freaked out a bit until I realised the driver without the feet is a dummy!
