News: Manor Grand Prix submit expansion plans as they gear up for F1
Manor Grand Prix has submitted plans to expand their headquarters in Dinnington, Rotherham.
The 540 sq m facility is bigger than the already approved expansion and will become the home of the team set to enter Formula One in 2010.
The application states that: "Formula One requires a new, larger, purpose built headquarters. The building will become the international centre for the preparation, assembly, maintenance and development of race cars.
Race teams and cars will be equipped, based and resourced here. Teams will be organised and coordinated here."
The plans were drawn up by local firm, Dexter Pollard and go on to state: "This is an opportunity to use the fine engineering skills present in the Sheffield and Rotherham area.
"This is an opportunity to draw upon and support the tradition of high calibre materials technology in our region and to show not just the rest of Britain but the whole world what can be achieved here."
It is thought that the development could create up to 50 jobs for the region.
