And there it is, definitely the most beautiful WTCC car so far:
http://www.touringcartimes.com/2015/...-polestar-tc1/ 2 cars, multi-year deal, drivers to be announced. Update: moving images from the FIAWTCC website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KtrB_7GO20 |

So TCT article says that the usual suspects have all been testing it. My guess is Bjork and Dahlgren for WTCC, Ekblom in STCC. But you never know, maybe Fred was the quickest in testing.

In other news, Girolami might be in WTCC in 2016 but only if Honda decides to enter a 3rd car, otherwise he'll move to Stock Car Brazil
https://twitter.com/RegueiraLeo/stat...45153833553920 Seems that Lada option has dissapeared |

If Volvo are only fielding 2 cars I guess they aren't going to bother with the new MAC3 team time trial thing.

http://www.touringcartimes.com/2015/...ive-very-soon/ According to Cristian Dahl, 2 cars in the first year was the initial plan from 2013 http://www.touringcartimes.com/2015/...manufacturers/ I expect them to field a 3rd car by the end of the year, maybe then they will be able to contest MAC3 |

such a beautiful car, love it.
really? take a look at his results this year, how does he deserve a seat at volvo more than björk, dahlgren or ekblöm? oh wait, he won the btcc 17 (!) years ago. |

Which experience they have in wtcc? Rydell has much more experience and skill to develop new car and u can't consider this year cause he drove an Honda 2014 spec. With no test and moreover he had to miss some events cause of health problems. I'm really sure that in same condition of other Honda'so drivers he would get same result. |

they have been driving for volvo for several years, why don't they deserve to drive for volvo in wtcc? you know that Björk, Dahlgren and Ekblom have tested and helped developing the TC1 S60, they have more experience with this car than Rydell has with the Civic, why should Polestar give Rydell a cockpit? because Rydell won a title with volvo ages ago? when did he drive for volvo the last time? in 2003? Rydell may be a good driver, but he should stay with Nika. |

Volvo is Chinese owned. So I'm afraid their "corporate" home race would be in china now.

Muller would be a good choice for Volvo, a lot of experience and a very good driver.
For Muller, if he wants win against Lopez, no choice for him, he has to get another car (faster ?)with another team (no directives). |

Muller is halfway out of Citroen. A kiss is just a kiss but Volvo would make sense for him. The clock is ticking and he won't stay long in the business.

The Volvo looks great.
What was the last international touring car in Sweden? ETCC in Anderstorp? |

it would be amazing to get Yvan Muller out of Citroen and to the new Volvo team. we need a proper fight between the manufacturers with top drivers. Lada has Huff, Citroen has Lopez and Honda has no one.
