At an exclusive event at 02 Arena in London - 300 celebrities and press gathered for the unveiling of the Lucas LW-4GPR driven by Arden Hutchinson and Marcus Thunder. After a brief concert performed by band AC/DC the New car was revealed on stage. The car, designed by Andy Davies and bankrolled by billionaire tycoon Lucas Wilson, is the first Lucas F1 car in over 4 years. The car will be powered by Downton engines. Here are some quotes from the evening. "It's amazingly be back in the paddock after a period of absence and I'm glad to be returning with one of the coolest teams in Formula Virtual, even if we are at the back you won't be able to miss us. In all seriousness this is a great team to work for and they have a lot of ambition and unfinished business in the sport and I look forward to our collaboration this year" - Marcus Thunder "I thought I didn't have a career left in the Formula Virtual and I'm glad that Lucas rang me and asked if I wanted a drive for next season. It's going to be difficult, they are a bit out of practice with the Formula but I think we have a good, solid car that can hopefully get us into some respectable race positions" - Arden Hutchinson "Designing the car was very difficult for this year, we had a lot of time pressure to get it done on time, we've been doing a few different things since we were previously in FV but nothing compares to the thrill of this series and we relish the challenge" - Andy Davies "It's great to finally be here with a new FV car. We are glad to be back in FV and although it will be difficult, we may not get out of Pre-Qualy, we are still going to have a good time and have some great parties. We are all ready to go, we are waiting to go to pre-season testing and sort of the niggles we may have with the car. We have two fantastic drivers this year and if anyone is going to be able to get us to where we want to be, it's these two" - Lucas Wilson Comments are closed.
