“The finishing touch to this exhibition is Romain Grosjean’s crashed chassis (from his violent crash in Bahrain in 2020), which is a testament to how the sport was managed and how those involved were looked after.

“History is everywhere and you can absorb it as you walk around at your own pace.”

The charred remains of Grosjean’s Haas are located in the penultimate room before the exhibition climaxes with an immersive “pitwall experience.”

Despite all the publicity surrounding the event, it is clearly aimed at a younger audience and people who are unfamiliar with the sport.

Even some mid-level enthusiasts who visit Goodwood, Silverstone or other historic sites on a semi-regular basis might find the whole thing a little disappointing.

Once you’ve worked your way through the cars and helmets – which you’ve probably seen before – you’ll probably have skimmed the historical briefs and technical sections because, frankly, you’ve heard and read all of this before.

The younger target group is also clearly recognizable in terms of volume – the six rooms are there for those with shorter attention spans. Those looking for a little more depth may miss the action. But there is still Brooklands, Le Mans et al to satisfy those who are still curious.
