yeh...
who has money that they will never break the pit lane speed limit..
inrfact they will remain 15km/h under it at all times!!

don't expect them to launch it at the start easy.. they will take off nice and slow with no hurry whatso ever..

they also won't be wearing helmets.. instead replaced by sunday driving cap's

Well, I guess it is better than nothing. . . still FF though, I don't know why they just don't enter w/ the 4WD model.

I was told that Volvo offically pulled out of Motorsport in 2000 and they haven't had a works car....Got any pics of the ETCC Volvo touring car?

I think Volvo will win the first prize for 'the most safest race car', and after a while
maybe other will follow

In Europe AWD cars are forbidden since the Audi A4 Quattro won all the touring car championships.

I see. . . that's true though huh? Since Touring cars needed to be based off production cars, you can't really have a MR Passenger car in there that'll just spank everyone.

I am just surprise that they could win even w/ the weight penalty of a 4WD/AWD system.
