Williams FW28 Launch

Scott75 · 26 Jan 2006, 13:35 (Ref:1509436)

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the correct time the FW28 is being Launched on the 27st January. If you go by the countdown on there site www.williamsf1.com it works out to be 12pm Melbourne,Australia time on the 27th.
To me that doesn't make sence as if I heard correctly it's being launched at Silverstone which makes it 2am in the morning UK time.
If anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it.

And here I was hoping the count-down on their site was correct

Still, there may be hope yet - 10 hours, 54 mins, and... 3 seconds, give or take a few

I guess it would take from our clock, but they forgot that not everyone lives in England. So it's probably noon UK time, which would make it 10pm today for us?

There is just the count down and some testing news. If you click at the bottom, there is the logo of sponsors. ON my pc shows that there are still 19 hours 15 mins more to go till launching. So maybe Pc's are doing the countdown from now until noon tomorrow.

I also found a probable new logo and read that battery Energy drink (which is the baby company of carslberg) is sponsoring the team.

Actually Battery is trademark of Sinebrychoff, a daughter company of Carlsberg Breweries A/S.

Press release

Scott75 · 26 Jan 2006, 23:23 (Ref:1509756)

They have now changed there site in which it says the launch is at 14:30GMT which means in Melbourne it's about 3:30am Saturday morning. More waiting then.

cmifsud · 27 Jan 2006, 00:46 (Ref:1509808)

From the press release it doesn't sound as if they are the new major sponsor though.

Nado · 27 Jan 2006, 05:15 (Ref:1509888)

Damn 3:30am, I guess I'm staying up then.

kipper · 27 Jan 2006, 10:57 (Ref:1510025)

Narain Karthikeyan confirmed as the fourth Williams driver.

Just an update, we got our maths wrong. The launch will be at 1:30AM Melbourne/Sydney time.

marcel82 · 27 Jan 2006, 12:55 (Ref:1510091)

what site are you guys looking at? www.williamsf1.com doesn't have that info

*oops, nevermind, should look harder

Scott75 · 27 Jan 2006, 13:09 (Ref:1510103)

Only an hour and a half to go before the launch. They have a new logo which is at http://www.f1total.com/williams.shtml It looks good, it may give us an idea of the colour scheme.

marcel82 · 27 Jan 2006, 13:14 (Ref:1510110)

pretty funny that the example car on that site should be a ferrari

Thanks Thanh Ha, I might have gone to bed otherwise - here's hoping it's a beauty....and I get the feeling it just might be!

ASCII Man · 27 Jan 2006, 14:24 (Ref:1510147)

marcel82 · 27 Jan 2006, 14:30 (Ref:1510149)

10$ says there site will crash within 2 minutes

Nado · 27 Jan 2006, 14:30 (Ref:1510150)

Nado · 27 Jan 2006, 14:35 (Ref:1510158)

Yep... WilliamsF1 site has died on me. Gallery pictures are 2MB+ each, and I'm downloading my first one @ only 8kbps!

Phoenix1 · 27 Jan 2006, 14:36 (Ref:1510159)

Love it, Williams look like they are back :-) Like the new shape, the design and the new sponsors!
