RICON® S connector runs 200 times Formula 1

When racers circle the world, they need a base in each stage of the circuit. Ideally, one that lasts from the first to the ultimate finishing line. The Red Bull F1 Energy Station has come into being such a home that it provides both Formula One teams, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso, and their guests with all-round care during this year’s nine European races. The new Red Bull F1 Energy Station is a technical and logistical masterpiece: over the next ten years, the 1221 m2 building will be erected and demolished up to 200 times, with a maximum of 2.5 days for each construction. To that purpose, the special mechanics of Knapp connectors is a great contribution: deliver, hang in, done!
