The Williams name has been synonymous with top-level motorsport since the 1960s. After running teams on the sport’s nursery slopes, team patron Frank Williams founded Frank Williams Racing Cars in 1966 and entered F1 in 1969 with his friend Piers Courage behind the wheel. Frank quickly earned a reputation as one of the industry’s more determined individuals and, after selling his controlling interest in his original team, he established Williams Grand Prix Engineering with British engineer Patrick Head in 1977. They built their first car, the FW06. The following year the team immediately went from strength to strength. Williams has since won 16 FIA Formula One World Championship titles, nine for constructors and seven for drivers, and is the third most successful team on the grid. This is not a trip to be missed, proving to be a very popular destination providing an insight into the F1 industry. An escorted tour of the largest collection of Formula 1 cars in the world. The collection spans the entire history of Williams commencing with the inaugural Williams FW06 up to the present day. Displays include Alan Jones’s championship-winning car from 1980, the infamous FW08 six-wheeler, and many championship -winning cars from Damon Hill, Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell.
Highlights from the modern-era F1 collection include Jenson Button’s first-ever formula 1 card from the 2000 season and Juan Pablo Montoya’s winning car from the 2003 Monaco Grand Prix and Ayrton Senna’s last racing vehicle.
