No Team Orders – Stories from the F1 Paddock

​

There was a time in Formula One when everything was different - less professional, less rules and a lot more fun, according to the people who were there;  the people you will meet during the ‘No Team Orders – Stories from the F1 Paddock’ theatre show.  These were the times when, besides hard working, the sport was Wild, Fun and Dangerous!

​

Take off your seatbelts and be amazed by the stories you will hear.  Get answers to your wildest questions!   Formula One used to be pure fun and these people were right in it!

From the era when mostly dedicated people with only passion worked in Formula One, team managers, to mechanics, to truckies, to cooks to drivers.  It was all pure passion and love for the sport.  

Ed Taylor made around 30 vlogs during the Covid-lockdowns about his days in F1, and decided to turn these stories into a live show with the help of team mates and colleagues!

No Team Orders – Stories from the F1 Paddock will be an exciting, funny and enlightening evening! “They Can’t Sack Us Now…so we’re telling you the tales, live and unfiltered”.  Drive to Survive couldn’t broadcast most of what you will hear!
