Technical director Geoff Willis is currently designing the Hispania Racing Team F111, which will be ready in March for the final test in Bahrain, ahead of the start of the season.
"The 2010 car will be utilized at the first tests, and as soon as the 2011 car is ready, we will implement it. The plan is to use the 2011 car at the Bahrain test. The 2011 car will be a completely new car, and will be called F111," said team boss Colin Kolles.
Colin Kolles said the car is being designed by his own team with "several groups of engineers".
"At the moment, there are approximately 40 designers finalizing the first spec, under the leadership of Geoff Willis as Technical Director and Paul White as Chief Designer," he said.
Hispania Racing Team was unable to do any testing ahead of its racing debut in 2010. The F110 ran for the first time in the opening practice session in Bahrain.
"Last year we didn't have the opportunity to do the tests, and this new season we are able to give our drivers the opportunity to do more millage and to get used to the Pirelli tyres. So, yes, the Spanish tests are very important for us," explains Colin Kolles.
Team boss claimed there will be "several announcements" from HRT over the new weeks.
"In the next few days there will be several announcements. The second driver has not been decided yet, because we have to make sure that we are making the best choice. We are making progress in all areas which is positive, working very hard, and the results will be shown and be announced very soon," said Colin Kolles.
