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.
More buildings are being planned, including a new wind tunnel, more space for staff, and a new simulator. These will be ready for the 2026 season when the next set of technical rules for the sport will start to be used.
New Campus Buzz While the Race Roars
While the British Grand Prix was going on, McCullough said, “It’s a fascinating time right now with the new campus.” “Yes, we moved into Building One a year ago. Buildings Two and Three are on their way…”
The wind tunnel and the new simulator are both going to be open soon, so everyone will have their room. I still smile every day when I walk in that wonderful place.
