Virgin Racing VR-01

Virgin Racing on its debut in F1, revealed on Wednesday their first F1 Car, the Virgin VR-01. The presentation took place online and was delayed due to technical issues. It is the first car designed solely by computer simulation and no wind tunnel was used. The car is characterized by the Virgin red/orange colors. Richard Branson, the Virgin Corporation boss, was very proud about the creation of the first F1 car by Virgin. He added that ''It's been fantastic to be part of this journey almost from the very beginning and to see a great engineering mind at work.I am sure we will be measured by how fast the car is on the track in Jerez next week, but i hope that doesn't overshadow the far bigger achievement of pulling an entire racing team together and taking a brave step that defies convention''

Timo Glock from Toyota and Lucas di Grassi from GP2 will be driving the new Virgin VR-01. We have to admit that Virgin is very impressive and I am looking forward to their first Bahrain debut. This year's season is very interesting due to the induction of new teams such as USF1 and Lotus. Hopefully, their effort won't be overshadowed by the big teams and the return of Michael Schumacher.
