"Could be like Greased Lightning!!!"

Branson should make money on this, so it is agood idea and it is more teams inthe sport, more racing so I guess it is good.

[hypertek]

so anyone see what kind of lap times they pulling during the testing? if they compare to others?

I think that branson is comming into the sport with the idea that one day he will replace Bernie Eccelstone, I think that he is serious about winning , but the underlying reason for him is to take over F1, he said when he first came into the sport that he was going to deveolp a new fuel for the cars. and i think the only way he can start to get involved,is to start with a team.

Yeah he's a chicken

Glock has to be a bit frustrated with all the problems they have had at testing, Lucas di Grassi gets the car next and Glock has barely had any running time at all.

[Gilles 27]

yeh Glock got about 10 minutes in total. This must be his first go in an F1 car at a proper event since his Suzuka accident too...

Why would Branson ant to replace F1? He spends his time spreading the Virgin brand like a virus.

Mm....Also, just noticed I said "F1" instead of Bernie. My bad.

Anyway, based on what's happened so far, was designing the car with no Wind Tunnel a resounding success? No, the wing fell off. But hey, every innovation's gotta start somewhere.

[vaptin]

It sometimes grinds on me how much they say they designed it completely on CFD, all teams use it! You only use it exclusively cos you can't afford wind tunnels.

The wing fell off? Are you serious?

Gee, this could possibly be the worst F1 car ever. Branson is going to do so much damage to his reputation and brand it is hilarious!

there pioneers though the car is bound to have issues and its on pace in testing.

I think it's the best looking car of the year (not that it makes much difference), but if the lap times from Jerez are representative, it could be a decent car, better than USF1 and Campos anyway...

I think you could be right, not necessarily because of initial design, but the fact that they were the first of them to test is going to make a huge difference. I expect they will have a whole new package ready for Bahrain based on the speed they were able to develop that new front wing and the extra testing time they have had to gather data. Lotus might be able to put something together too, but Campos and USF1 simply don't have enough time, they will be lucky if they even get a decent setup for the race with the equipment they have, much less upgrades. All I am really hoping for at this point is for them not to embarrass themselves.
