Formula One Team
South of Enstone Airfield is a disused quarry. This is now the site of the Whiteways Technical Centre, where the Formula One motor racing Lotus F1 Team is based. The F1 team, then named Benetton Formula, moved from Witney to the Enstone site in 1992. The team's car for the 2012 season has been named the Lotus E20, "E20" being a tribute to the team members and their 20-year history and achievements at the Enstone facility.

Famous quotes containing the words formula and/or team:
“Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
