Über das Buch
A look at one of the most successful teams in the Pirelli World Challenge. What if we took a Volvo sedan and turned it into a Championship race car and the fastest Volvo racer in the world.
This was the vision of team owner Jim Haughey, a Volvo owner, enthusiast and former Volvo technician. Coming from championship seasons in 2007 / 2008 the team arrived at Sebring in 2009 with two newly built and untested Volvo S60’s. The custom designed and built cars were “one of’s” being built as identical as possible, but ultimately each handled very differently. Taming the power in their 550 + hp, turbocharged T5 motors also became difficult resulting in cracked and broken shafts, gearboxes and over heating issues. The book is a collection of more then 150 photos that takes you through four seasons of racing which saw Driver's Championships, and a Manufacturers' Championship for Volvo.
