Well, handed my notice in at Honda Racing F1 yesterday, leave a week on Friday!

Was a very tough decision to make, been a huge privilege to be a part of Jensons' first race win and the Bonneville 400 land speed record, but i felt it was time to move on.

Was approached by RC Developments a few weeks ago, an offer was made and after a few negotiations - i accepted.

Start there on the 11th September building big power Evo's...

Gotta be a fuckin good deal to leave Honda F1 for a uk based tuning company- or am I wrong on that part.

Best of luck anyway.

All the best Will,

Good luck Will with the job, you could be seeing my Evo there

Good Luck

 

well done. Waht did you actually do and Honda F1 then?

 

hope it all goes well

 

all the best in the new job

 

Congratz and good luck mate

 

Thanks guys - i was a bit of a jack of all trades at Honda - my main specialist areas were electronics for the first 6 months and engine systems/hydraulics for the remainder.

I'm looking forward to the move to RC as it'll allow me to really get my teeth into things - there's only a handful of people there, as opposed to the 500+ at Honda!

 

Does that mean you will be buying an Evo what will you be doing there just building engines or everything ?

Oh and congrats Mike

 

Bit of everything Mike

 

congratulations.

 

Nice one Will.

 

thats not a posh phrase for 'gofor' is it Will

 

congratulations Big Will 85

when you start tell them to reply to bloody emails will you

 

Don't blame you to be honest.

F1 hours are stupid long. (mate at Aguri) At least it will be more sensible at RC Dev.

Were the rumours of Honda supplying champagne/chocolates to every employee after JBs win true?

 

Good luck mate

 

Haha - yes, no denying the hours in F1 are a bit mental - like sleeping in the tyre blankets whilst building the test cars during build season

Aguri are probably under even greater pressure as things stand at the moment - i've a lot of respect for the boys there - doing a hard job with a lot of piss taking...

Honda did treat all the employees to a glass of champagne at the debrief the next day and the race team boys travelled back from the airport to the factory in limos with champagne

I don't expect the hours at RC to be any easier, but i'm not afraid of hard work and i think i've made the right decision as i was starting to get frustrated at being unable to see jobs through start to finish, only playing a small part in a huge equation.



And Matt - no, i'm not the new tea boy

 

Forgot to say it above. Good luck fella

 

Congrats Will....

You`ll be just up the road from me mate.....
Have to come to some of the Cheshire meets as well,we get half of the RC customers there now,......Not bad for a ford meet..

 

nightdavva

Yeah - be good to meet you and Shorty

You'll have to forgive me attending said Ford meet in a smoky 306 diseasel - but my Escort isn't anywhere near finished yet

 

No probs mate,we usually turn up in a smoky 406 diseasel as the Escos is still on stands at the workshop...
