This week, I'm thrilled to have James Densley from Tour De Force join me as we delve into the exhilarating world of running F1 cars. We'll explore the fascinating story behind the TDF/One, a remarkable creation that combines a genuine Formula 1 chassis with their powertrain. This innovation not only makes operating these powerful machines more accessible and affordable, but it also preserves their mind-boggling performance.
