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.
