The Manor Formula One Team have confirmed that their new full
2015 spec car should be ready by the middle of the season.
The outfit who were rescued last week by Northern Irish
businessman Stephen Fitzpatrick have prepared a heavily revised 2014 car which
it will start the new season with provided it passes the mandatory FIA crash
tests.
Although the team have confirmed that they hope to have the
2015 car up and running midway through the season they have not yet specified
what race the car will make its first appearance at.
In other Manor related news, Graeme Lowdon will remain with team
in his previous role as Sporting Director as well as taking up the position of
Team President. Stephen Fitzpatrick is owner and chairman of the board of
directors while former Sainsbury’s boss Justin King will sit on the board of
the team.
The team have one driver, Will Stevens in place and are
working hard to secure a driver for the second car but they will have both cars
on the grid for the opening race in Albert Park.
