Force India VJM08 Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

You gotta respect Vijay and what he´s done in F1. 8 years now approximately and the ship is still floating.
It´s just a matter of time before that unicorn arrives and Vijay will start opening up the wallet and truly compete with the big guns.

No it doesn't, but neither is that legal. The "nose appendage" extends too much and is too high. Besides, we already know they aren't bringing the VJM08 to the first test, so the car will probably not be ready now either.

My guess? The VJM07 with a showcase nose.

Anyway, it's a livery launch. We won't see the 2015 car

VJM08 might not be ready for first test, but they can show the car if bodywork is completed. They don't need to have it track-ready to be able to show it to us.

We'll see in 15-20 minutes what have they decided to show us today
