Virgin F1 Car Launch

[MiniMadMike]

Anyone know what time?

[TheDetailDoctor]

Already done. No pics yet

[MiniMadMike]

Oh...any idea when pics will be available?

Rumours that Virgin Racing turned up a 1/2 size mockup, claiming it was just "far away" thus far are not confirmed.

[TheDetailDoctor]

Apparently it's Red & Black, that's all I can find thus far.

I bet they're wondering if it was Wirth it

Really nice design. Paint/sponsorship, that is. Whether or not it'll be quick...

I found it amusing that this car which has been designed purely using CFD had the launch delayed because they couldn't get the technology to work. I hope that isn't a portent for how this thing will perform.

Looks more like VXR racing!!!!!!

[Nic jones]

Is it Vauxhall VXR powered? I bet it'll fly with a redtop in the back!

D'oh beaten to it, great minds though detail doc!

Is it me or does the front wing look a bit...simple... compared the other other teams'?

[Curry Burns]

I'm assuming that this will be turning it's first wheel in Silverstone then?

Looks reall good by the way.

[MiniMan64]

Why do I immediately think it looks like an Indy car livery?

I think it's the way the engine intake sticks up, looks like the old Indy cars.

I was thinking the same.

Assuming they have done the launch shots with the definitive wing, a lot of teams prefer not to give away their aero package straight away.

What a wonderful looking racing car.
