Bottom post of the previous page:

It gets more complex ..... Although not mentioned in today’s announcement, the Faenza outfit is also using the VCARB acronym, and it’s understood that it might eventually be r as the type designation of the RB chassis, with a final decision yet to be taken.

So it seems like we or likely might see the launch of the car at Las Vegas on Feb 7th as the VCARB 1. (The other RB will be known as the RB20.)

It seems like the Visa branding is not just on the "Toro Tauri / Alpha Rossi" team.

Looking at the statement on the new VCARB website, they are saying that Visa branding will be across both the VCARB and also the Oracle Red Bull team.
...."Visa will become the first global partner of both Red Bull F1 Teams...." and also "..... "Visa logos appearing on both the Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App RB cars as well as the F1 Academy entries for both teams...."
Anyway the full statement that above stuff is from, of 'the launch' is on the VCARB website, and can be found here. https://www.visacashapprb.com/team-laun ... ership.pdf


What the heck are the F1 Academy entries?
Is that the Women thing or something else. I thought the W Series thing went broke and was being liquidated.... or is that something different again.

Edit: Yeah the F1 Academy is the women open wheeler thing that run support races at some GPs....., but looking at the 2024 entry nothing from RedBull. Just Art, Campos, MP, Prema, and Rodin (which used to be Carlin until Trevor Carlin sold out recently)

Here is the link to the F1 Academy website with all their info: https://www.f1academy.com/Teams-and-Drivers

On the plus side, hopefully a totally new livery.

Total horse poo name change. Somehow I think the new livery will also be the worst on the grid. Because logic.
