Force India F1 team today unveiled their 2008 championship contender, the VJM-01 at the Gateway of India in Mumbai. The car has been named after the owner, Vijay Mallya. The new livery is made up of red, white and golden colors. Also the Kingfisher name can be seen all over the car.
The VJM-01 is basically a modified 2007 Spyker. The car displayed though does not feature the final aero package. It will be ready only by late this month when the VJM makes its debut on track on February 25.
Vijay Mallya has earlier stated that he is in it for a long run and not just to make up the numbers either. Although expecting Force India to challenge the likes of McLaren and Ferrari is totally out of the question. It would be great if they can match upto the likes of Honda and Toyota, both of which were struggling last season.
