After the team is led by Vijay Mallya it is rightly called as VJM01 and is against the backdrop of the historic Gateway of India in Mumbai. Force India is set with a whole lot of plans. It is planning to construct its own cars as Spyker did, relatively than using customer chassis. However, Force India is using an updated version of the previous year's Spyker car, for the first part of the 2008 season. It makes every Indian proud for the country when the Indian flag is used as the team logo. In addition, the team is using the Ferrari engines with the team's existing deal with
Ferrari running to 2010. The Force India team has been recognized as a unique entity and the key to a huge marketing opportunity for India.
The popular car-racing named as
Formula One in which ‘Formula’ implies. Formula means a set of rules that all participants and cars must go with the set rules. As everyone knows that Formula one cars race at top speed and they can travel at up to 360 km/h (225 mph). Well the performance of the car is totally dependent on the electronics, aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. The surprising factor is that formula cars have more than 1000 parts in the cars.

racing cars can accelerate from standstill to 200 kph and back again in less than seven seconds.
