Virgin Racing engineers are also on our stand and with Motor Sport Magazine we’re giving visitors the chance to see what is displayed on the pit wall for real, giving you the chance to try some car set ups on a simulation tool, as well as finding out more about how the Marussia Virgin Racing car has been designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology for the 2011 season.
We hope to see you there next week.
