Tom McCullough, the Performance Director for Aston Martin, is excited about the team’s plans to continue building their offices at Silverstone. This is part of the project’s next steps, and it comes at a time when Honda is getting ready to become the team’s new engine partner in 2026.
The British company has already finished some important parts of the building process. Their new AMR Technology Campus ¬, which has departments like the engineers’, R&D, commercial, and IT offices, opened in July 2023.
