2010 Car Launch thread

I still think Renault's is the best livery, but the VR-01 is definitely the best looking shape so far, in my opinion.

Agreed. Now that I've seen the VR-01 on track, it doesn't look so good to me anymore.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but i fail to see how that Virgin F1 car is anything but ugly




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

I personally think it's a stunner!

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

it looks like its been left out in the sun too long and its starting to wilt in the heat :p

if it goes as fast at it looks it we should see some good close fights with the safety car






just my opinion

The studio photos of the Virgin (teehehehehe :P) were really good. The photographers obviously had a very good grasp of lighting etc. But they also had ages to get it right.

The trackside pictures, aren't so good, and there's several factors to this. It may be unofficial photographer so we don't know how good a snapper they actually are. Then you've got to take into account the light conditions, it was wet and overcast so they weren't great, plus since it's outside it's dynamic lighting. And then of course the car is actually moving in the action shots! So obviously the snapper has far fewer chances and time to get it right.

I think it unfair to make too many conclusions about the appearance of this car from the limited amount of action pictures of limited quality.

In a photography sense the lighting was perfect. An overcast sky is like an enormous softbox.

The photos just look crap. They're generally soft and lacking contrast. Perhaps it's just awful compression of the jpegs.

Every time I see that Virgin Racing car, I keep expecting to see 'Superfund' scrawled across the nosecone. :s Which team had that...? I think it was Minardi. This one looks very similar.

I think you might be right with Minardi, it also screams "Midland" at me as well from the shot on this page. Generally though I still really like it. I really like the shape and in some ways it reminds me of the 20s Minardis and Arrows. Fine by me :D

Superfund were on the Midland as well, so maybe you are thinking of that, Toby

Yup, Minardi! They were also behind that Austrian F1 team who put forward an application.

Ah thanks, Ed. Yep - you can see the similarity can't you?

Thanks Alex, forgot to update it.

EDIT: Done, and also FINALLY figured a way to link some of the entries on the original post to Raulongo's photos.

Force India have launched the VJM03






Another car quite devoid of sponsors, apart from Mallya's own brands (Kingfisher, Royal Challenge, Signature, Whyte & Mackay)

Not TOO bad, once again, would look better if they dropped the fin...

Always reminds me of an A1 GP car. Nationality and all that.
