Volvo win their fourth MAC3 time trial of the season

Volvo have won their fourth MAC3 time trial of the 2017 World Touring Car Championship season, and added a further 12 points to their manufacturers’ championship tally.

The Volvos benefitted from a damper issue for Honda’s Tiago Monteiro on their run, with the Portuguese driver lagging behind his two team-mates during the MAC3 run, with the two leading Hondas of Norbert Michelisz and Ryo Michigami backing towards Monteiro during the closing stages.

Although Catsburg had a damaged front splitter, the Volvos were able to comfortably outpace the Hondas, securing the victory by almost four seconds.
