Virgin Racing have unveiled their 2011 challenger at BBC Television Centre in London.

As with the VR-01, the car was designed entirely using Computational Fluid Dynamics – without a wind tunnel. Drivers Timo Glock and Belgian rookie Jerome d’Ambrosio were on hand at the launch to unveil the new car, which features the MVR chassis designation, following Russian performance car manufacturer Marussia’s acquisition of a significant stake in the team at the end of last season.

The car will not run the KERS system, due to the expense of its development.
