Visa Cash App RB unveils the livery of its first race car: the VCARB 01

Visa Cash App RB concludes this first week of presentation dances. The Faenza team unveiled its first race car, the VCARB 01, which will be adorned with a metallic blue reminiscent of the Toro Rosso liveries between 2017 and 2019.

VCARB has therefore returned to a livery highly appreciated by fans during the Toro Rosso era, while now, the Red Bull “bis” team has made significant internal changes: Peter Bayer is the CEO, Laurent Mekies is the team principal, Tim Goss is the technical director, and Alan Permane is the race director.

The Italian team only unveiled on Friday, February 9th a model with the colors of their new race car. It will be adorned with metallic blue accompanied by white and red lines. The famous Red Bull bull, which can be found on the top of the engine cover, is gray, just like the title sponsor Visa that appears on the side pods.

The sponsors Hugo Boss and Orlen, which are seen respectively on the front and rear wings, are visible in red on a white background.

A collaboration with Red Bull

This year’s car will use fewer custom-made parts and will instead share several components, within the regulatory limits, with its sister team, Red Bull, with the aim of reducing costs and improving performance.

During last season, Red Bull’s top executives, Helmut Marko and Christian Horner, repeatedly expressed their desire for AlphaTauri to get closer to Red Bull. The new Racing Bulls identity allows the Italian team to reaffirm itself as the second team of the Red Bull group.

The Italian team also took the opportunity to unveil the suits, predominantly white, that Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will wear in 2024. Blue is represented on stripes that run along the suit, while sponsors like Orlen or Hugo Boss, which are also featured on the left leg, bring out the red.

The single-seater driven by the Australian and the Japanese will hit the track for the first time during a shakedown in Misano on February 12th.
