RS Fabrications

Lotus F1 commissioned CES Europe & RS Fabrications to manufacture their pit equipment for the upcoming Formula 1 Season.

Grid Trolley’s, as in the adjacent picture, have been manufactured for the Lotus team and are currently being shipped all over the globe.

With increasing Air Freight charges, the modern f1 team has to Sea Freight their duplicated pit equipment. This way they will have all the right equipment ,in the right place,  at the right time,  for that particular race.

“We have been under the gun to manufactrure the neccesary equipment to a tight timeline” commented Russell. “we had to incorporate a twin shift system to meet the demand. I was on the 6 am to 3 pm shift with Shane picking up the 3pm to midnight shift! The boys in the workshop have been under immense pressure to meet the shipping deadlines, but we have pulled it off and Lotus are that much closer to the start of the Formula 1 2010 Season!”

RS Fabrications & CES Europe Ltd, work closley together, and the equipment was custom fabricated in ‘mandrel bent’ 304 stainless steel tube, fully tig welded & mirror polished, as per the Lotus specification.

 The results are purpose built, quality pit equipment, that will support Lotus throughout testing and the  upcoming 19 race calender.

“With  the huge demands required in Formula 1, you need the best equipment, and Lotus F1 knew where they could get it”. said Shane.

As we know, races can be won or lost in the pits and RS Fabrications can manufacture equipment to get teams further up the grid.

RS Fabrications have had a long association with Tony Giles, fabricating all types of product for CES Europe Ltd.

Orders are currently being taken for Racing Car Support Equipment, and we are all looking forward to the upcoming 2010 Formula 1 Championship.
