Caterham ready to go

The Caterham F1 and their GP2 team are ready to take a massive set forward as they prepare to move the team from their current base in Norfolk to their new facility in Oxfordshire. The team are relocating to the former Arrows factory in Leafield.

The team will make the move over the four Summer break following next weekend's Hungarian GrandPrix. Caterham employ around 200 people within both their team's. The factory in Oxfordshire is a lot bigger then their current base.

I have no doubt that the move will be a huge benefit to the team who entered Formula One in 2010 along with the then Virgin Racing team and the HRT team. At this moment in time Caterham appear to be the best placed of the new team's to pick up their first ever Formula One point.

I believe that it is only a matter of time before this happens as they have managed to get into Q2 a number of time's this season and in Mike Gascoyne they have one of the sport's most respected technical directors at their team and he has helped team boss and owner Tony Fernandes build the team from the ground up.

The Leafieldd Technical Centre is the former home of Tom Walkinshaw Racing who owned the Arrows Formula One team who were based at the factory. The team went bankrupt in 2002. The factory was then taken over by former Formula One driver Aguri Suzuki as he set up his Super Aguri F1 team with the help of Honda. The team collapsed in 2008.

So despite the fact all the F1 team's who have been based in Leafield have folded Caterham F1 won't go this way as they are a team who are on the ascendency.
