Toro Rosso to launch STR6 on February 1st

Scuderia Toro Rosso will be launching its new car, the STR6 on the first day of Formula 1 testing next year, at Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit.

A spokesman for the Faenza based team said earlier this month that the STR6 is scheduled to be up and running "for the first test in Valencia" on 1 February.

The car will be unveiled in the pit lane at approximately 9 am, a few minutes before the testing session starts.

After Sauber (31st of January in Valencia), Toro Rosso is the second team to release the date of its 2011 car launch.
