The F1VWC news team has been working overtime as the season opener in Melbourne appears on the horizon! Drivers, car Launches - its all starting to happen!!!

SCUM tightlipped over race driver - when asked if Matt Hunt was being loaned from Mapes-VO, co-team owner Dan Regan remained tight-lipped.

Simsoa and Puma F1 car launches have taken place. Others are expected to confirm dates soon.

Phoenix F1 2004 design again from team boss Andy Graydon - we hear that the car looks quite stunning!

Testing so far has shown the lower powered teams have caught up to the higher powered teams, but still at the cost of poor reliability. In season this could cause problems for these teams.

Whiteman to appear for EIRE in Spain - he has not been seen in the car since the first test at the same circuit over a month ago. As most race drivers seem to be taking a break from testing roles, Whiteman looks like he's trying to peak his driving skills in time for Melbourne - his home Grand Prix.

F1VWC meeting - Silverstone Tuesday 24th February - real F1 testing will be the backdrop. Peter Van Oostende will fly over from Holland (wow!), and there are plenty of UK residents attending - could be that we hit double figures on attendance! Digital photo's will ensure images will be available on the F1VWC site soon after the event.

Jakonen yet to drive 2004 Mapes-VO test car - rumour is he's been partying and has put on a bit of weight! Wonder what the Mapes-VO bosses think about that?
