This is the idea of the art Race Director Mary, Nick Wirth, who has gained international fame for his avant-garde approach pure CFD development of the car, all design, construction and testing of race cars in the computer simulation, without expensive, resource heavy scale model wind tunnel testing.
"Today is a good day for all involved in the Virgin races, but this time, where the car is the star, I salute all the wonderful people Wirth Research, who deserve the most credit for Compensation FRI - 01" Wirth said. "The composition of an F1 team, a growing concern and designing a new car from scratch is an epic task in the time we work.
"I was fortunate to have worked with top designers in Formula 1 and I am very well aware of what it takes to succeed in this sport. If we see what they have done than the other teams, with the usual, but good design approach, it is not surprising that much skepticism about our approach to all CFD. But we compete in a sport that the main change was to come face to face with the harsh economic realities of today face is marked. prove source reduction, Congress as too expensive and the need is really the mother of invention. I have absolute confidence in the process of digital design and the ability to show and share of the CFD approach in assessing the highest level - that this might be the way to the future of Formula 1 - is very, very exciting.
What a better overview of the new car, Wirth continued, "The RV-01 is the result of intensive exploration and evaluation of all factors affecting the creation of a great race car, combined with the specific parameters of sporting and 2010 technical regulations of the Games. The consequences of the chassis design was created by the prohibition of feeding clearly significant. The obligation of the entire race, amount of fuel run, creates excellent packaging and optimization challenges. Reducing the width of the front tires and the impact, the front-end grip required for modeling and simulation work, because we do not find data from previous years.
"We believe we have reached will benefit from a vehicle, the integrity of first class design and high aerodynamic efficiency and stability. Reliability is an important issue and all major areas in line with the FIA safety and crash test requirements for the impact structures - the nose, monocoque, side and rear impact structures - particularly suffering in terms of fuel prices rose to more severe.
Regarding the prospects for the team, Wirth said: "We are a serious racing team with big ambitions, if we do not try to walk before we can go. The starting point is the attempt to implement reliable, safe and efficient and the best teams.Then start of the new energy for us to put the car through a continuous development in the computer simulation. We expect problems in their entirely on the road, CFD is one approach - the model to test. In both cases it is only when the distance you can really appreciate the impact of factors that are difficult to model with a technology such that the effective stiffness of all body parts and joints to the air Take. We've all been on both closed and open wheel cars do, so I 'm pretty confident in the accuracy of our predictions and we are pleased to see how our initial configuration on the runway.
"We have two very focused and determined driver Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi made. The efforts behind the scenes in recent months in the simulator is invaluable as we begin our development work on schedule automatic translation tests.
"It is fantastic, and cooperation with Cosworth, as they begin a new chapter in the history of F1. You are a strong company, and I had the pleasure to compete against each other when we worked in Indy cars, where she has excellent work. The CA2010 is a package of Nice and the Cosworth engineers seem determined to prove himself again. I'm sure people will see that Cosworth has a great job.
Virgin Racing team owner, John Booth said: "Today is the culmination of a very emotional journey, which actually began in June last year, we celebrate the fantastic news that our membership was accepted in Formula One. The ceremonies were necessarily brief, but because We have been designing in a race against the clock to develop a car at the same time as the construction of a new group of people and buildings.
"I'm still confident Nick had a good concept car race when he think about the race team for a good job for labor exploitation has. Having closely with the technical team in the last 10 months, I know who will VR-01 the product of a very intensive and extensive design development see, and my excitement is our first race car to mark its track debut later this week jointly by any person who participates in races Virgin.
"The first step in our evaluation program is the way our two-day shakedown at Silverstone on Thursday and Friday of this week we will systematically tests are performed and the confidence to car parts and building systems for the car. It has always been the intention that we first test whether the team would miss in Valencia earlier this week and we focused on the second test in Jerez two weeks to test our public launch. It is a testimony to our methodical approach and hard work of the team we to Spain one weeks earlier than expected, some in the first test in Jerez next week. "
