BTCS - low cost, high-performance racing

The BTCS is an endurance racing championship with six competitions on tracks such as Spa-Francorchamps, Zolder and Dijon. Each race consists of two 90-minute heats and there is also one 12-hour race in Spa. The all-new Volvo S60 will face intense competition from the likes of BMW, Audi, Jaguar and VW. BTCS has grown rapidly in terms of both competing brands and numbers thanks to its low-cost, high-performance combination and, not least, the fact that the cars have considerable visual appeal. The race series is televised in several countries and is gaining in popularity.

"We will support and follow our development in this series very closely as several other national championships are considering similar standardised regulations in the future," says Derek Crabb, Motorsport Director at the Volvo Car Corporation. "This BTCS campaign will give us a good understanding of what these types of regulations can mean for Volvo."

Bellissima anche in versione da corsa. Però dovrebbero stare più attenti nei PS, nell'ultima foto hanno eliminato le luci "DNA" mentre nelle prime due no...
