Plans for Renault simulator approved by local district council

As noted in the press earlier this month, Lotus Renault are set to add a new simulator facility to their already impressive headquarters in Enstone, England. And with the plans for the addition recently being approved by the West Oxfordshire District Council, construction will soon get underway and is set for completion by the beginning of the 2012 race season in March.

“We’re very pleased that planning permission has now been granted and we can begin the latest phase in our development at Enstone," commented Team Principal Eric Boullier."

Adding, "We’ve already stated the level of our ambition with the upgrading of our wind tunnel from 50 to 60% and the development of our new supercomputer for CFD computer simulations. The confirmation that our simulator is on the way is further evidence of our continued investment for the future."
