How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

Because obviously you've got historic parts supplies for these cars, but I presume those spares will not have lasted very long anyway.

So I guess there has to be a manufacturing program for bits and pieces as they're needed for these cars.

And the driver-in-loop simulator, that's a huge project.

The Race F1 Podcast

They're very complex pieces of kit.

Obviously, you can get stuff off the shelf, but there's a lot of work that has to be done.

You're putting it into a relatively modest facility, so I presume that created some challenges as well.

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

So how have you gone about that process, building it up?

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

What's the timeline for commissioning it?

And it being...

Not just operational, but fully operational and 100% contribution.

So how much of a rolling start does that give you?

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

And how much are you having to build on that for the specificity of F1?

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

talking about the production side this is obviously massively important for the the HASS F1 team the clone facility it's a long time since I've been there but it was a great facility a long time ago I imagine it's only evolved since then but there's a lot of specialized very precise work in Formula One I mean you go to any of the Formula One teams and the machinery they've got just to produce these to the minimal tolerances and all these kind of things is astounding so I

Can you give me an idea of the scope of that project and where it's got to?

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

Because that's a very, very long lead time in terms of start to finish, I guess.

The Race F1 Podcast
How Toyota is helping transform F1โ€™s smallest team

It really never finishes.

So I presume in terms of manufacturing prototype parts, you can look at them, analyze them, compare them to the real parts.

Because obviously at any kind of production,
