Force India is all set to give its 2009 Formula One car its track debut next Sunday, the team has announced. In a media advisory, the Vijay Mallya owned team informed that the Mercedes powered VJM02 is scheduled to run for the first time at the Jerez circuit in Spain.

Both of Force India’s race drivers for this year, Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil, 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. The season will take off at Melbourne about 26 days after their car launch and hence, it will be difficult for them to find enough time for testing.
