Arrows to launch in Melbourne.

As has become the norm for the Leafield team, OrangeArrows has announced that it will unveil its definitive 2002 livery in the sunny surroundings of Melbourne's Albert Park.

Forced to launch its 2000 season 'down under' because of the late acquisition of telecoms giant Orange as title sponsor, the team has since made a habit of using the first race of the year to hold its media event. This year's ceremony will take place at the Australian GP circuit on Wednesday 27 March - just two days before the opening meeting of the year kicks off.
