The Force India Formula 1 team will give its 2009 formula one car, the VJM02 its track debut on Sunday in Jerez, the Silverstone based team has announced.

In a media advisory, the Vijay Mallya-owned and led squad informed that the Mercedes-powered VJM02 is scheduled to be run for the first time at the Jerez circuit in Spain, 26 days before it is presented for scrutineering in Melbourne, Australia.

Both Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil, Force India's race drivers for this year, will be present for the rollout.

It was reported that the car, also with a McLaren gearbox, was fired up for the first time in the factory workshop on Monday.
