Living on the edge

Article Abstract:

UK firms are a dominant force in motorsports, particularly in Formula One racing. This is due to several factors that include a large number of Second World War airfields which were used as racing circuits. UK constructors are characterized by a high degree of vision and efficiency in their approach to manufacturing because they have been traditionally constrained with limited budgets. They were also able to apply technological innovations from the country's aerospace industry. The abundance of engineering firms that supply motorsport needs also contributed to this success.
