After changing its name to Caterham following the long dispute over the Lotus name, the team that used to be Team Lotus, has also announced that it is moving out of its factory in Norfolk to a site in Leafield, which is closer to the rest of the F1 factory bases in England.
“Weproposemoving the F1 and GP2 teams to the new site inor around August 2012, giving us ample time to build up the infrastructure required to house all the critical elements of both teams, and propose moving Caterham Cars into a new, bespoke development and production facility on the same site in due course,” said Tony Fernandes, the team director. “We are able to build the new home for Caterham Cars from the ground up on the Leafield site, giving us a permanent home in the perfect location for two of the primary arms of the Caterham Group. We will be consulting with all our team about the proposed move before we make any decisions about exactly which functions will be located to the new site.”
