2016-05-04

Cyan Racing, the official motorsport partner to Polestar, will not extend its technical cooperation with Garry Rogers Motorsport in V8 Supercars after 2016.

”We will continue our technical cooperation throughout the remainder of the 2016 season on the current three-year contract. After all Cyan Racing was involved form day one when the cooperation was created with Volvo Polestar, so it is a matter of both sporting competitiveness and commitment as well as business ethics to see this through," said Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar.

"However, Volvo Car Group’s performance brand Polestar is our assignor in motorsport and decisions from this group sets the precedent for our agenda and this means that we will cease the activities with Garry Rogers Motorsport in the V8 Supercars after 2016 and bring back our engines and race cars to Sweden after the season end.”
