Carlin Advanced Technologies

The Carlin team enters a new era in 2007; with the establishment of associate company Carlin Advanced Technologies Limited, based at the team's Chessington facility.

Carlin Advanced Technologies is a new division which will continue the tradition of technological development at the Chessington factory, started by the Brabham F1 team and maintained by Yamaha and Activa.

Three times winners of the British F3 championship, the Carlin team are continually looking for the smallest improvement which may make the difference on track. The first project undertaken by Carlin Advanced Technologies was the in-house development of a Formula 3 Dallara aero model, for use in the on- site 3:1 scale wind tunnel.

Carlin technical director David Brown produced detailed drawings and designs to guide long-term Chessington personnel John Mansfield and Dave Hands in the construction of the replica model. Mansfield and Hands manage the wind tunnel programme and are undertaking advanced tests and analysis, with the ambition to refine the Dallara product for British F3 circuits.

Both the F3 model and wind tunnel facilities are available for rent on a closed, exclusive basis. Full composite manufacturing services are also available on site.
