Ian Comerford Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I wasn’t aware that these were a thing until I saw a post on FB earlier about Red Bull visits to MK7. It seems they have quite a few planned this year. Price is £300 for a couple of hours with refreshments included. There were quite a few comments about the price and some compared it with the Williams visit price of £85, so Red Bull seemingly isn’t alone in offering these. Has anyone done a visit like this, does anyone else offer them?
longman Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I did a Jordan test day at Silverstone back in the day , full access to the track , access to the pit garage , lunch and a chat with the drivers .. that was £100 back then
World Citizen Posted January 19 Posted January 19 £300 for 2hrs and refreshments 😬 Why not spend the same money and make a memorable day out of it including a slap up lunch, Turin to see the Museo Nazionale dell' Automobile Or, Bologna to see the Ducati Museum and Factory tour Or, Milan to see the Alpha Romeo museum Or, Munich to see the BMW and Audi museums Or, Stuttgart to see the Porsche and Mercedes museums 1
njpcarrera32 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 When we were Chiltern Region RO’s we organised a visit to Reynard when they were at the top of their game. They gave us a full tour and refreshments and charged us £0.
Ian Comerford Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 It looks like RB is offering a couple of visits a month this year https://experiences.redbullracing.com/experiences/factory-tours-2025/ Are there any others I wonder?
World Citizen Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I wonder 🤔 Just do it Ian, you'll find any F1 factory tour a very interesting experience 😎 AMF1, McLaren and Williams also offer tours in varying forms 👍 Ferrari, Haas, Audi, RB, Mercedes, Alpine, Andretti don't offer tours 👎 Looking forward to 2x special factory visits booked up for next Fri One is free 😉 but the other might cost me my 964 or 930 or both 🥲
johndglynn Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I did The Race F1 Podcast Live in Birmingham last weekend, was fun! I see Lewis has been to Maranello now - full testing starts in a month. Awesome! I will make this a full F1 thread as we are always touching on it.

Not done a factory tour though so that would be cool. The Hotel Turismo in the centre is great - highly recommend.
World Citizen Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Enjoyed a Ducati factory tour with a bunch of work mates from a stunningly gorgeous tour guide 🥰 When she asked, 'would anyone like to touch my desmondo cam shaft' I was nearly crushed by the crowd surge 🤣 2
johndglynn Posted January 22 Posted January 22 That might be their policy as the girl on the door when I went was also lush 🤣 1
Northy Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I really hope Lewis is fired up for this season (how could he not be?). It could be a cracker! I mean come on, what a guy 😎 You can’t turn up like that and not be fired up. 1
World Citizen Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Really not a Lewis fan at all but damn he looks sharp 😎
70sThrowback Posted January 24 Posted January 24 It would be great to have a season where at least 3 manafacturers are in the running all the way to the end. I think I speak for a lot of people who got bored when it was firstly Lewis, then Max just dominating season after season.
World Citizen Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Best chance for this will be this year Next year see the biggest technical changes in the history of F1 so one team will nail it

Will be intriguing to see how both 2026 championships evolve 🤔 Could anyone's guess who wins 😵💫 Think I know who will be dead last, team will get a right old kicking in the Ingolstadt's 😖 2
