2008 will see several important milestones reached for the Williams F1 racing team. Incorporated in 1977 by Frank Williams and Patrick Head, the team will contest their 500th race at the Turkish GP this year. Williams himself will celebrate his 600th Grand Prix when the F1 circus arrives at Monaco in May. The added races are because Frank ran a number of customer cars for nearly as decade before establishing the current marque.
The team will also celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first design, the FW06, and with a reasonable amount of reliability, they will complete their 50,000th race lap at some stage of the Spanish Grand Prix.
To commemorate these milestones, the team will debut six different themed liveries during the two month winter testing campaign in Spain. Despite Williams opting not to have an official launch this season, fans will have even more reason to keep an eye on the ever changing FW29B. No official date was available online for the FW30 model that the team will use for the opening race in Melbourne, Australia on March 16, 2008
