Volvo Polestar Racing: “No excuses this year”

Volvo Polestar Racing has got its sights set firmly on the very top of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship 2011.
“We have won four out of five possible titles the last two seasons so we are precisely only 80% satisfied. During the winter, we have virtually designed a completely new chassis and we have two multiple champions behind the wheel. There will be no excuses this year,” said Christian Dahl, Team Manager of Volvo Polestar Racing.

New to the team for this season is multiple BTCC champion James Thompson.

“I have competed as a works driver both in BTCC, ETCC and WTCC for several manufacturers and top teams, and I am impressed with Volvo Polestar Racing. There is a lot of confidence and know-how in the team. I am really looking forward to the season,” said Thompson.

2009 STCC champion Tommy Rustad is set to complete his fourth season for Volvo and is confident ahead of the season start.

“Volvo Polestar Racing is the only team in STCC that continuously has both the technology, policy and driver capacity that enables both drivers to win all races and all championships. This is really good for the confidence for us drivers and it is also our major strength as a team,” said Rustad.
