Tomorrow in VLC: BMW Sauber 2007 Car Launch Jan 15, 15:49
On Tuesday 16 January, our friends of the BMW Sauber F1 Team will present to the media and public their 2007 car, the BMW Sauber F1.07.
After the unveiling of the BMW Sauber car at the “Feria de Valencia” -- the city’s state-of-the-art trade fair centre -- the new car will have its roll-out at Valencia's track known locally as “Circuit de la Comunitat”.
The fact that BMW has selected Valencia as the venue for this event stresses the strong connection between BMW and our adopted home city of Valencia. Obviously, the BMW Sauber team feels similarly comfortable here as do we of BMW ORACLE Racing. Indeed, last year BMW Sauber chose Valencia to present the then new F1 team to the world's media.
We in the AC game know all the work and emotion in "launching" a new vehicle. Only a week ago our second and last new ACC yacht for this campaign, USA 98, arrived at our winter training base in Auckland, NZL. High hopes and a lot of development work go along with achieving such a milestone -- whether in the AC or F1.
Your Ed. and a number of our BMWOR colleagues will be on site tomorrow for the BMW Sauber launch, and very much look forward to getting a first glimpse of the car. We plan to take a few snaps of the excitement, and then get a post up here about tomorrow's hopefully auspicious proceedings later in the day.
For those of you who cannot be present, check out the BMW Sauber F1 Team’s official website. There will be a live stream of the unveiling from 0900 CET on Tuesday.
Are you ready for the next step in BMW Sauber's quest for F1 supremacy? Tune in tomorrow.
