[autotag]Andretti Global[/autotag] has taken a significant step toward joining Formula 1 if its application is accepted in the next few years. On Wednesday morning, Andretti Global announced that it has opened a brand new facility in Silverstone Park, United Kingdom, as the company prepares to “enter the FIA Formula One World Championship.”
It is a 48,000-square-foot building that will “house manufacturing facilities, including pattern, model and machine shops, ADM, electronics, R&D and additional office and meeting facilities.” It will be an American works team, but Andretti Global believes the European base is an excellent opportunity to attract Formula 1 talent and install “state-of-the-art” machinery.
We are proud to announce the opening of a new facility at Silverstone Park, UK.
This new 48,000 square foot building is an important milestone for Andretti Global, as we embark on the next stage of our preparations to enter the FIA Formula One World Championship

Andretti Global’s battle with Formula 1 has been well documented after the sport declined its entry request earlier in the year. Since then, the company has proven to deserve a spot, and the new facility is another excellent reason. It will be interesting to see what comes from this development and how Formula 1 views the new base for Andretti Global.
