The new HRT formula one team officially unveiled its Dallara-built F1 challenger at a launch event in Murcia, Spain, on Thursday.
The Spanish team, which was formerly known as Campos Meta before being bought-out by financier Jose Ramon Carabante earlier in the year, took the wraps off its inaugural F1 car at its headquarters in Murica, where it also presented its drivers, Bruno Senna and Indian racer Karun Chandhok.
Adrian Campos' team was in financial turmoil until January, when an investment from Carabante secured its future.
The Spanish investor appointed former Midland F1 and Spyker team principal Colin Kolles to turn the outfit's fortunes around before the opening grand prix of 2010 in Bahrain, allowing him three weeks to get everything in order.
HRT's first F1 contender, which was designed and built by race car maker Dallara, will make its on-track debut during the first free practice session at the Sakhir circuit on March 12th.
