Volvo S60 in the Belgian Touring Car Race Series
Volvo Cars Belgium will enter the new car in the 2010 season of the Belgian Touring Car Series.
The new Volvo S60 race car has been developed in record time locally by Volvo's Belgian S60 Racing Team. It has been developed in accordance with the BTCS Silhouette S1 regulations which put a major emphasis on standardised features. All cars must use a tubular chassis, the same type of front and rear suspension and aerodynamics. A uniform type of engine specification is also available but manufacturers are allowed to use own engines.
The Volvo S60 Racing Team will also operate the car at all BTCS races and the drivers are Vincent Radermecker and Eric Van De Poele.
Its maiden track test will take place on April 1 on the Belgian Zolder track.
"It has been a hectic period, but we have received great assistance from Volvo Cars' Motorsport department" says Thomas Neri, Team Manager for the Volvo S60 Racing Team. He continues: "Our main objective is to get up to speed and to compete well in the various heats. Next season we hope to put our own in-house developed engine in the car."
