Aquamist at the Renault F1 Factory

 

 

 

 

 

A few years back Aquamist was invited to the Renault F1 factory to help with a small issue they were experiencing. During promotional drives through city streets and such, the cars would tend to overheat due to lack of airflow over the radiators. While Renault never blew a motor, as another team had, which was quite embarrassing, they wanted to be safe. Aquamist was asked to supply a sprayer system for the radiators. The following are just a few pictures taken at the factory.
 
Quite the piece of art hanging on the wall as you enter. No mistaking where you are.

Rows of automated machining equipment. The floor is so clean you could eat from it.
 
Some parts laid out on a workstation. Notice the upright at the top of the picture.
 
Finely engineered pieces and outstanding craftsmanship

The money shot. The engine was covered for secrecy reasons. The rest of the car is amazing. The radiators are seen in the picture.

The outcome of the project was a success. The team never blew an engine during promotional appearances due to overheating. When you are a World Champion Formula 1 team and you want the best jets and sprayer system in the world, you call Aquamist.
