Preparation

The F2 cars will be prepared and maintained centrally by F2 at MSV's Bedford Autodrome facility - a 400 acre, 180 hectare circuit complex that has a total of five miles (8km) of track arranged over four separate circuits, together with 100,000 sq feet (10,000 sq m) of buildings. MotorSport Vision developed the site in 1999 primarily to run the PalmerSport corporate event, which is probably the biggest and most successful such event in the world.

Each F2 car will be maintained to identical standards by a team of experienced and trained F2 mechanics working according to a strict preparation check lists and procedures. Only F2 personnel will be permitted to work on the car.

Each mechanic is supervised by the F2 Chief Mechanic and F2 Team Manager. During maintenance only standard parts from the central F2 stock may be fitted to the F2 car.

After every test and event, the engine of every F2 car including full data analysis will be carefully checked by skilled personnel from F2's engine build and service contractor.

The F2 cars will be prepared to very high standards, both mechanically and aesthetically. Any damaged components will be replaced and any damaged paintwork will be repainted; the costs of which will be the responsibility of the driver up to the level of the insurance excess. The F2 organisation will keep records of the livery of every car and keep spare graphics sets where possible.

Drivers, managers, family and friends are welcome to visit the Bedford Autodrome workshop at any time providing visits are arranged through the F2 Driver Co-ordinator.
