I can't find anything else on the subject, but given he is reliable source, I think it's good enough to add the date to the 2016 key threads: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... =1&t=23689

It's mentioned in the tweet by Manor which was posted on the previous page of this topic.

I wonder what influence Tombazis will have on the chassis throughout the year.

They also hired Pat Fry as engineering consultant!

Interesting! It seems to me they try to build up a competetive technical team. They start from the right place, I think. Howewer, do they find enough resources for season long development race?

According to their Facebook page, the new chassis will be called MRT05 instead of MRT01.

The 21 year old reigning DTM Champion and Mercedes-Benz Junior driver, from Sigmaringen in Germany, will pilot the all-new Manor Racing MRT05 race car when it hits the track for testing in Barcelona on 22 February. Pascal will take part in both pre-season tests ahead of his first Grand Prix in Melbourne.

[Rhodium]

cool, i'm sure this Manor is sexy !

[Racer X]

I like it more then the Force India and why does Manor look more American then the Americans'?

[Racer X]

I also don't think Manor understand the concept of an Unveiling.... It's not the same thing if we can see them put it together.... it's like when your dad gets you a new Bike and he puts it together in the living room.... but then you take it out and it sucks.....


So It begs the question again.... Why is Manor more American then the Americans....

They went for a retro look, which is very very nice. finally someone that dares to do something diferent.
