Virgin Racing will unveil its first Formula 1 car live on its website next Wednesday. The VR-01 will be revealed via virginracing.com at 10:00 am on February 3. The team has chosen to hold a virtual event rather than a normal launch.
The car was designed by the Nick Wirth research group. Like many other teams, Virgin will use Cosworth engines. The single-seater will be quickly tested on the track as a private shakedown is planned at Silverstone by the end of next week.
The team will be present on the British track on Thursday, February 4th and Friday, February 5th, before joining the second session of winter testing in Jerez the following week, where many teams will be put to the test.
The VR-01 was started for the first time at Nick Wirth’s Bicester factory last night: « I am really happy to be here today and to have reached this new milestone in our development program, » the designer said. « I must say that the VR-01 has a very neat package. We are all looking forward to seeing it on track next Thursday for the first time. »
