Downton FV Team have this evening launched their first Championship defending car, the BD06. Team principal Bradley Downton was present along with race drivers Nathaniel Powers and Klaas van Snelheid - and new reserve Sam Hudson - as the covers were taken off of the 2018 challenger. The British outfit unveiled the new car in a live stream online beginning at 19:00 GMT, which only those who had joined the teams website as a fan could view.
"We are delighted to present to you tonight, the first ever Downton car to defend a Championship," Downton announced before the covers were removed. "We had a fantastic season last year and while the new regulations have been a massive challenge and are sure to shake up the field, we fully expect to be fighting right at the front once again." With that Powers and van Snelheid pulled the covers from the BD06, unveiling the aggressive new car design Downton alluded too and confirming Downton joined the already unveiled North Star in running a shark fin. Unsurprisingly the livery is largely unchanged from the now usual Orange and Blue, though slight amendments have been made, with Monster returning for yet another season as the teams primary sponsor. "The team have worked incredibly hard to get this car built and ready, and she is a beauty," Downton added. "I daresay the best looking Downton we've ever seen. The engine guys have done a phenomenal job too, and she sounds absolutely incredible. I can't wait for pre-season testing to begin." Further images of both drivers' cars are shown below.
