Campos looks set to have a car ready in time for the first official test of 2010 in Valencia on February 1.

Its chassis is being built by F3 manufacturer Dallara and a fully working car is expected to be ready in time for the group test at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. So far, Bruno Senna is the only driver confirmed at Campos for next season and will be given the opportunity to drive the car first. The team is one of four new outfits for next season, all of which will be ready to test next month.

Lotus won't hit the track until the third group test at Jerez, while US F1 will debut on American soil ahead of transporting its cars to Europe before the season opener in Bahrain. The plans of F1's fourth new team, Virgin, are less clear, although technical director Nick Wirth has said the car will hit the circuit at some point in February.
