When Virgin joined the grid in 2010, their debut race car broke the mould as the first Formula One challenger to be designed entirely in the digital domain using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Although they eventually finished last in the constructors' standings, the team's pioneering CFD-only campaign is set to continue into 2011. An enhanced partnership with their IT services company, CSC, will see Virgin's CFD capacity double in 2011.
