Lucky Strike BAR Honda confirmed today that the launch of their 2005 competitor, the BAR007, will take place at the Circuit de Catalunya on 16 January 2005.

Last years launch saw some secret pre-launch laps being completed for photography reasons, before a low key launch took place in the pitlane.

BAR will be the third team to launch their 2005 car, behind Williams and Sauber. Red Bull Racing and Minardi are currently the only other teams to announce launch dates, with Ferrari, Renault, McLaren, Toyota and Jordan still to confirm their plans.
