Cant wait to see this badboy mixing it with the 3 series Bm's even with the credit crunch the 2009 season is looking like a good'un!

 

[Simon Trendell]

Sponsors are a disappointment

 

[Dave Stephenson]

It doesn't look nearly as good with those on. Maybe even ruined.

 

[Simon Trendell]

Video too

Can't use sound right now, so I'm wondering what it sounds like

 

[Dave Stephenson]

It sounds pretty good. Got a real throaty sound low down in the revs.

 

[Simon Trendell]

There's been quite a few mentions of them using something very similar if not the same as the Volvo C30 which sounds brilliant.

Plus, of all the things to sponsor a racing team.. A Risk Management Company

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Wow, what happens at 2:20 on that film?

 

[Simon Trendell]

They had engine trouble, since it's just a media day I think that Tom stopped at the slightest hint of a problem to prevent too much damage to components.

OR he missed the pit lane... either really

Wouldnt suprise me lmao!!!

 

[Oliver Amos]

Definately something wrong with it after he stops. You can hear a sort of high pitch metal squeeling sound as he drives it into the pits.

Doesn't sound too good that... up until that point though it sounds great

 

[Jamie Ralfs]

Sounded good until Chilton missed the pitlane!

 

[Mark Birney]

That car looks great! The way the wheels are cambered at the back, and how the front of the car stoops down, it looks like it's ready to jump up and bite your face off. Geart sound too. Finally, we are seeing more of Ford in motorsport.

 

[Akos Veres]

I guess vauxhall can't participate in wtcc cause of GM.

 

[Akos Veres]

Volvo would be nice again in btcc.

 

[Akos Veres]

Fors focus has benn also needed for btcc.

 

[Akos Veres]

Volvo would be nice again in btcc.

[Akos Veres]

I like James and hope to see in wtcc this year.

The focus driver has already love his new car for btcc. :laugh2:

 

[Andy Marsden]

Fantastic!
Since they departed there has been a large 'hole' in the field - will be nice to see them return!
Wonder if they would consider the WTCC in the future too?
