Virgin Racing becomes the first of the new equipment in his car show for the 2010 season. Designed by Nick Wirth, the Virgin VR-01 has the exotic point of being designed entirely by computer, instead of relying on the wind tunnel.

Nick Wirth believes that the computer design is “design the future “, given the many constraints faced by Formula 1 teams. Think that is what works best, and more can benefit. As the VR-01 the first car that is designed in this way, we’ll see if it works as expected in Virgin

I am sure that we are measured by how fast will the car at Jerez next week, but hopefully, go and go, this does not detract the great achievement it is to build a team from scratch, with the courage and conviction that this requires. In many ways this is a exploraciónm but given our confidence in ourselves, I can not help but be enthused with what we can possibly do in a few years. For now I want to see the VR-01 on track during the coming weeks as we prepare for the first Grand Prix Racing Virgin.

Richard Branson’s statements show an enthusiasm content. Do not expect to win out, their intention is to learn, go slowly improving to lay the groundwork for a good team. I think it’s the right approach.
