Does anyone here know where I can go and to see place of Formula One Racing Car Engine Development / Research in London?

Many thanks

TBH, I'm not sure how much F1 stuff there is in London. Last year, there was an exhibition and several talks by prominent F1 people but I don't think there are any at the moment :(

Actually, about the only F1 thing I can think of in London is Mika Hakkinen's car in the Science Museum (which is worth a look anyway, particularly as entrance is free!). Really nice article on the Science Museusm here

I didn't know Mika's car was on display. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

There isn't much F1 stuff in London, Oxfordshire is usually regarded as the silicon valley of motorsport although several F1 teams are situated elsewhere.

If you just want to see a cracking museum I suggest you seek out the Donington Grand Prix Collection at Donington Park circuit, which is pretty awesome. It's a long way from London though.
