Virgin has confirmed that it will launch its 2011 car after the first pre-season test in Valencia, on February 7.

The British team said the new single seater, the MVR-02 - with the 'M' standing for new Russian partner Marussia - will be revealed in London a few days before the second of the four pre-season tests at Jerez in Spain.

"Further details will be provided very soon," Virgin added.

The news means Virgin will turn up to the first test with its 2010 car.
