My only surprise is that it doesn't have like 20 pictures of Richard 'If I Ruled the World' Branson's face all over the bodywork.

I'd guess the car, on that sort of budget, is going to be a total dog for a while, which is why we get the flourescent in-your-face livery so that the Virgin brand logo stands out for the TV cameras when it's getting lapped by about 8 or 9 other teams.

That virgin looks great !! I'l say it again - That virgin looks great !! It shouts pretty, attractive, sexy !! soon the other cars is gonna be all over her !!
Well thats that for the paint job. how she will perform on the track considering the very basic(I think) design, is another story.

No, I don't get why it's so popular either.

I reckon that spy video & photo were all part of a Williams marketing-thing. Pretty clever too.

Rubens posted the video, he'd never have done that if he wasn't told to by the williams crew.. claire williams did too.

But, Virgin had their silverstone shakedown today.

Best looking car EVAR



:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

That thing is a beauty!!! Just imagine how much better it would look with a normal rear wing though. :cloud9:

I don't like the tribal crap they have on the back and front of the car - but it's definitely not bad looking at all.

The McLaren & Sauber have definitely grown on me more and more. When the McLaren's on track it looks really beastly. I do prefer the shorter wheelbase of the 09 cars, though.

It's okay enough, nothing great though. Hence the term 'meh'. :P
