Don't know about Volvo. With them entering WTCC it does not make sense on the short term. They also seem to have no interest in promoting the smaller V40.

Well the thing is in WTCC the market to sell those cars are extremely small, they might sell 2-4 tops to customers. While in TCR they cant even race the cars themselves, they have to sell them to customers to race them. And isnt that quite a coincidence, Volvo pulled out from STCC as a factory team this year, instead having WCR running the cars, might we see TCR cars in STCC next year, what is the bet on Polestar building the factory Volvos while WCR races them as a customer team? The cost of developing a TCR volvo would be nowhere near the cost of developing the WTCC Volvo.

Just a thought...

WCR already runs Honda Civics in the TCR Series, I think that Volvo would have to entrust his cars to another team.

Instead of running 2 F1 cars Ferrari could sell 30 cars if they start their own single seater championship...Selling customer cars is not the reason why Volvo, Honda, etc are involved in WTCC.

But okay maybe STCC is a reason why Volvo would develop a TCR car.

Good that he has a drive, but wanted him to be in STCC this year to challenge Volvo.

Two different manufacturers for a single team in the same category (although at different level)? It's a bit strange.

Dacia and Volvo are testing at Knutstorp today and tomorrow.

The rest of the teams will do their testing at Gelleråsen next week.

I've heard some rumors and I think we'll see a decent grid this year and hopefully go TCR for next year.

That guy has done more for STCC that anyone else, he was among them who started STCC and worked hard for a long time to make it into what it was. Its great to see that he is back again, will add some needed flair to Swedish racing again!

At the invitation of Volvo, the 22-year-old is expected to tackle a Scandinavian Touring Car Championship round at the Skorvde circuit on the same weekend.
Pending final sign-off from V8 team owner Garry Rogers, McLaughlin will replace regular driver Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, who is unavailable for the event.
