The Swiss-based Sauber team will open a new technical center in England's 'motorsport valley' in preparation for Audi's entry into Formula 1 in 2026. The base will allow Audi to access a large pool of engineering talent and collaborate with experts in the UK's thriving motorsport industry.
The Swiss-based Sauber team are to open a UK base this year as owner Audi gears up for its official entry into Formula 1 in 2026.
Sauber has traditionally struggled to tempt engineers to join it because its base at Hinwil in Switzerland requires relocation. The location of the new base has not yet been decided. Audi said it was "evaluating potential locations within 'motorsport valley', including Bicester, Silverstone, and Milton Keynes". It said it aimed to have the UK technical centre "operational by summer 2025".
