Polestar Cyan Racing WTCC launch for Volvo employees

Both drivers Thed Björk and Fredrik Ekblom, together representing seven STCC titles, were present for autograph signings and Q&A sessions with the employees.

"We have had an awesome day with a tremendous response from the Volvo employees. It was really great to see the persons behind the base car that we are going to take on the world title with and the inspiring messages from them ahead of the coming season," said Björk.

The newly constructed Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 race car was unveiled and a walkthrough was provided by the Polestar Cyan Racing crew.

The FIA World Touring Car Championship season starts on April 1-3rd at Paul Ricard in France, with the organisers issuing an amended calendar earlier today.
