Virgin Racing have unveiled their VR-01 car on their website yesterday and plan to have it on the Silverstone race track to put it through it’s paces Thursday and Friday (today and tomorrow).
The car was designed by using Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and not the standard method of making scale models of the car to test in a wind tunnel.
This is the first time an F1 car has been designed solely in this digital method with the designer, Nick Wirth, saying that in future this is the way all F1 cars will be designed.
The 2 Virgin Racing drivers who will be no doubt chomping at the bit to put the VR-01 through it’s paces on the Silverstone race circuit and no doubt it will be a very memorable Silverstone driving experience for them both. The 2 drivers are Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi.
Both drivers have “driven” the car for the last 2 months, but only on a simulator so it is certainly going to be good for them to see if it performs like it should through the simulators.
