It is not the first time in the design of a Virgin Racing, now Marussia Virgin Racing, space has a key role. The year passed the gas tank was too small to finish a race without having to refuel in a season without repostajes. This year, the space which is lacking in VR-02 is the KERS. But in this case is not any error. The last single-seater Marussia Virgin Racing has been designed without the use of the KERS. Responsible for design, Nick Wirth it has summed up perfectly with their statements.
The fact is that the KERS is extremely expensive and heavy, and enhancements only three tenths. If we're at three seconds!
The aim of the British team with Russian flag will not be another that enhance their reliability. Last year his problems with the hydraulic system left them out almost race after race. This is another reason why Marussia Virgin Racing abandoned the option of placing the leaks lead to new Lotus Renault GP R31. After test simulators took a much less innovative solution but should ensure you that they will not have problems.
