Volvo could move from STCC to Swedish GT in 2017

The Volvo team Polestar Cyan Racing could move from the STCC to the support class Swedish GT next year following the switch to TCR regulations in 2017.

Richard Göransson claimed the 2016 STCC title, his fifth, in the season finale at Knutstorp this weekend and while his contract ends this season, the team is keen to continue their cooperation.

”We like Göransson just as much for his speed as for his personality in commercial situations as a brand ambassador, so I hope that our cooperation continues in Swedish GT or WTCC,” said Alexander Murdzevski Schedvin, Head of Motorsport at Polestar to na.se.

The team is withdrawing from the STCC in 2017 as they do not have a suitable model for TCR, with the V40 model being replaced shortly.
