WTCC – Volvo enter two cars in Brands Hatch meeting

The Swedish Touring Car team, Polestar Racing have entered two Volvo C30s in the British leg of the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) at Brands Hatch.

This will be Volvo’s third guest appearance in the WTCC since the series’ inception in 2005, as Dahlgren raced a S60 at Anderstorp in 2007 and a C30 at Brands Hatch in 2008.

On this occasion, Dahlgren and Tommy Rustad, who currently compete in the Swedish Touring Car Championship, will be laden with the maximum compensation weight and will not be eligible to score points during the event.

“Last year was an exploratory appearance. This year we are upping the stakes to give our British Volvo fans and customers a great show,” said Derek Crabb, Director of Motorsport at Volvo Car Corporation.

 Rustad – the first Norwegian to compete in the championship – is currently placed 2nd in the Swedish series and Dahlgren lies in 6th.
