Really?

They have 2 exits already? i could not see a slot to take one down into the starter hole.

Edit: T128 is quite short compared to the MVR 02....smaller fuel tank I guess - Renault engine has a better fuel consumption...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there some hoo-hah about the starter hole in 2009? Were the rules clarified as to it's dimensions? I notice that both this one and McLaren's are quite voluminous, so to speak.

EDIT: To answer my own question: http://www.formula1.com/news/technical/2011/0/819.html

They're also running Xtrac transmission again. Is this system going to be more reliable this year? I wouldn't say it was worth shouting about for them last year.

According to their website it is a
"Virgin Racing precision aluminium construction with 7-speed, longitudinally Mounted internals" gearbox

The internal parts are still from Xtrac....they design their own Gbox casing..

[Goran2812]

on some photos the exhausts are combined into one exit that goes by the starter hole,on other photos there are 2 parallel exits blowing on top of the difuser... hm

The brake ducts are being blocked by the front wing?..

I think it is just the perspective and the shape of the diffuser surounding the starter hole, that let us think that its one giant exaust

They ran the Xtrac internal, in a self-designed/constructed case, so far they are the only one of the new teams(including this year) to make their own gearbox....consider both HRT and Lotus this year are still using customer gearbox...
