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.

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

What's the timeline for commissioning it?

And it being...

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

And obviously Toyota have their own simulator programs.

Historically, they had an F1 simulator program, but it's going back quite a long time for the sports car program.

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

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

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?

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

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,

There's always that process of just trying to troubleshoot.

And as I've said, this is a relatively young deal, so you're really early in this process.

So in terms of your role, if I get my timeline right with you, you'll have come in specifically to do this because it wasn't so long ago you joined the Haas team.
