    Not too bad but lets hope they provide Virgin with the step forward they need.

    Taking a close look at it, you can easily tell the differences. The front wing clearly looks its been inspired by Red Bull, they've gone with the pull-rod rear suspension idea and the sidepods look like they've been given a better aero makeover compared to last year. Plus overall I think its one very pretty car.

    One concern I have is (like Team Lotus and probably also Hispania) they will not be using KERS, citing costs of developing it as the reason

    Not at all. I think it looks great!

    I'm also delighted that they're not using KERS. Yes, Virgin are not using KERS because it's cost-prohibitive, but that just makes this car less artificial.
