overly sensitive?
Maybe it's my Volvo bias, but I seem to get the impression that Volvo's get the least PR/talk/pictures/mention/etc... at the ETCC website? BMWs get the most, followed by Alfa and Volvo. OTOH, I guess that's fair considering there are more BMWs than Alfas and more Alfa's than Volvos? Even if the coverage is relative to the numbers of cars on the track, is it still fair??

i agree BMW and Alfa get more mention and more TV time. I know there is more of them but Rydell is always near the front.

Plus Volvo isn't 'officially' meant to be a factory team

What do you mean by "officially"?? They are Works backed and run? I know that Flashing Engineering S40 is not really a Works team?

Do you think Volvo can win a race before the end of this season? They've come as close as second?

At the end of last year Volvo said that they wouldn't officially enter the ETCC this year, but Prodrive would run a couple of cars, which pretty much meant there were going to be Volvo backed cars, just not 'officially'.
Unless i missed the story where Volvo went back on their decision. |
