• As the racing season climaxes, organisations are busy upgrading their support vehicles.
Cartwright Freight Systems, for example, has recently completed a stylish 13.1m airconditioned semi-trailer for the Ford Cosworth Benetton Formula One Learn.
The trailer with its 50mmthick insulated sides provides admin and computer areas, engine workshop and telemetry (race monotoring) communications office. It has two coach-type doors at the side and the rear closure has a tail lift.
Inside the workshop are a roof-mounted hoist, rotating engine stands and 16 spare engines. Half are on four hydraulically-operated storage platforms and the rest grouped around the trailer sides.
Avon Racing meanwhile has ordered a 13.4m doubledecked trailer from Tidd Trailers for UK and European Grand Prix events. Spare tyres will be stored on the top deck and equipment below.
