Forgotten Legends Leyton House
This article tells the story of Leyton House, a Japanese brand that made its mark in the motorsports world by sponsoring drivers and eventually becoming a Formula 1 manufacturer.
It is the memory of that turquoise color that creates the legend of Leyton House. This name, a brand of an entrepreneur from the Land of the Rising Sun who chose to extend his business internationally through motorsport and to use it to champion Japanese drivers, made it all the way to becoming a Formula 1 manufacturer.
A short experience that lasted just two years between 1990 and 1991, when the turquoise single-seaters were the first design experience of the great talent of Adrian Newey, the father of all the current Red Bull World Champions.
