Red Bull Racing Formula One Team Factory Tour

Red Bull Racing is opening its doors for a factory tour at the Red Bull Racing Factory in Milton Keynes, with the next one running on Sunday 1 November. It's a look inside the live-working facility where the team's championship-winning cars are built, and the route follows the life cycle of those cars from start to finish.

You'll walk through the Model Shop, the Paint Shop, Additive Manufacture, Research and Development, the Machine Shop and the Race Bays. The tour also includes the new MK-7 facility, which showcases the team's title-winning cars and its motoring history. Groups are kept small, with a maximum of 15 people, and the whole thing takes around two hours. You'll get light refreshments on arrival, hands-on opportunities to touch and feel intricate car parts, and a special gift to take home at the end.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind. The minimum age is 12, and under-16s have to be accompanied by a paying adult. Photography isn't allowed during the tour, except inside the MK-7 facility. It's worth remembering that Red Bull Racing is a relatively young team, and its success from the start to the present has been impressive.

Tours run throughout the year between 9am and 3pm on the team's Public Tour Open Days, and the cost is £300 per person.
