My bet is the first 2007 car we will see is the Toyota.

I think we may see the new Renault a bit earlier this year, theyre testing it already.

Also look for the Ferraris early, the already have a couple of chassis made.

[Shane2]

Ah good more cars for Kimi to destroy. Can't wait

[Player(1)]

Any other spy photo's of the car's like the Vodafone McLaren?

[Shane2]

Seen some conceptual art but no photos yet. McLaren tend to test in that ghastly orange and reveal their real livery as late as possible

Bah, you have no sense of nostalgia...........

[Shane2]

Nostalgic or not, its very loud and it looks rank

[Jenson_Rules]

Its very ghastly is the orange!

Honda are releasing the RA107 in early january again!

[Shane2]

To be fair Honda's cars are boring, and all tend to look the same anyway. The ones i am interested in are Ferrari (how they will look without vodafone after so many years), and it will also be interesting to see the new McLaren, Renault, and BMW cars as well. It will be interesting to see whether honda can finally pull it together next year however.

I think this is the first confirmed launch date.

BMW confirms F1.07 launch date
Monday, 27, November, 2006, 11:58  


BMW Sauber’s 2007 challenger, the F1.07, will launch on January 16 in Valencia, the team announced on Monday.

The German manufacturer will unveil its second car since taking over Peter Sauber’s team at the Spanish circuit a day after McLaren's 2007 launch, with the new machine also being given its first test run later the same day.

The Hinwil-based-squad, who finished an impressive fifth in the constructors’ championship in its debut season in 2006, has already confirmed its driver line-up for next year, with Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica remaining as race drivers and 19-year-old sensation Sebastian Vettel as third driver.

Meanwhile Heidfeld and Kubica will get back behind the wheel of last seasons F1.06 for the first time since the season-ending Brazilian GP at Jerez on Tuesday, when F1 winter testing kicks off.

The Panasonic Toyota Racing team has also announced their winter testing schedule, the Cologne based squad confirming that they too will be in Barcelona this week, starting tomorrow, Wednesday the 29th of November for a scheduled three day session.

Over the course of the three day test the team will use a total of four drivers, including regular drivers Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher, as well as Frenchman Olivier Panis. However, there will also be two new faces on track, Kamui Kobayashi, who will take part in this weeks test and nest weeks session in Jerez, while Kohei Hirate won’t take part in the Barcelona session but will be on hand in Jerez for both test programs before Christmas.  

Unlike December last year, when the TF106 was the first new car to be launched, the team will make use of the TF106B for the end of year sessions meaning that the new TF107 will not make an appearance until the new year.

I guess i was wrong. From what i can gather most of the teams will start track testing their 2007 spec car in January.

Wow, even Olivier Panis is making a come back after a brief retirement from testing duties. With rumours floating around that Mika could also make a return to testing. With that in mind I pose the question how long before MS feels that he is missing out!!!!!

Pure speculation I know, but an interesting thought none the less.

I knew you would be happy with the return of the "Flying Finn".

It will be very interesting to hear his remarks in regards to how the cars have changed over the five years or so that he has been out of the c#ckpit of a Formula One car.

I hope he says those remarks with the car instead of his voice....by showing he's lost none of his speed

Good photo, but I'm damned sick of the red/white (or silver, as in McLaren's case) cars....

ferrari due to main sponser Marborlo will also be red and white. So we can have fun guessing which car mclaren/ferrari are front.

[F1 FANatic]

even if Marlboro was not the main sponsor, there is no way Ferrari would not run in red. But i have to agree, get some yellow and green back on the gird

Agree, V8 Supercars are going through something similar at the moment. Just about every second car has orange on it!!!!!

[Player(1)]

Think I said it before here that I most likely wont buy a McLaren shirt while supporting Alonso for the next 3 years (atleast) simply because the McLaren colours are so bloody dull.....The new scheme looks a bit more interesting so maybe I will after all.

Shame they cant just use Renault's from this year since they are ment to be changing it a bit, now thats some nice and vibrant colours youd be proud to wear.

Possibly the New Renault Livery...
I like it!





I will post more teams as I hunt them down.

Im not sure what the number "1" is doing on the front of the artists impression... That belongs on the world champions Mclaren for 2007!
