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)
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
