    I was expecting to see a completely intact caterham in some shed and then Heikki would appear out of nowhere with a huge beard and saying they left him there and he had to survive by eating rats or something.

      four years is still a long time for people to get in and fuck shit up. The facade is still in good shape. Didn't they also sell/auction all racing related assets? Maybe that made the factory so empty inside, adding to that post-apocalyptic look.

    I totally don’t get this vandalism stuff. Wander around, have a great Time exploring but leave everything intact so A. Those who follow can explore safely and in an more original like location B. Who ever buys the place don’t need to clean your rubbish up.
    It’s sad people seem to have such an urge for destruction :(
