Feature: Concept to track in 8 months – designing an F1 garage
GDS has been manufacturing seamless walling systems for motorsport since 2012, including prestigious teams in Formula E, BTCC, World Endurance Championship, and GT Racing. However, Formula 1 presents unique challenges due to racing in different countries. Normally, teams send six sets of equipment via sea freight, but Haas F1 Team, a newer and smaller budget team, has to send everything via air freight. This puts strain on the team as they have to wait until after the race to set up at the next destination. Last October, Haas approached GDS to design a new garage setup, consisting of both the ‘Front of House’ and ‘Back of House’ areas. GDS’ MaxiPremium walling system is quick to assemble and dismantle, making it ideal for F1 garages. The project was a significant undertaking for GDS, but they were able to expand and invest in new equipment to meet the challenge.
