)Nothing evolve on that car. The transmission is Weismann.
And world challenge needs better editors. Volvo took first at Mosport is 2006. The article says they had not won since 2004. The 2006 Mosport race was in the rain also and Volvo actually managed to lap the entire field.

That was a awesome race. I was at turn 3 and he came down the hill with a 3 second lead on the first lap. I also believe He would of lapped 2nd place Archer, if the R wasn't blowing up.

And STCC
World must be ending
Press Information
Date of issue May 03, 2009
Volvo claimed double victory in the STCC premiere
One and two in qualifying and one and two finish in the first race
The 2009 Swedish Touring Car Championship season opened this weekend at
Mantorp Park. The premiere turned in to a real treat for all Volvo fans.
The Volvo team Polestar with drivers Robert Dahlgren and Tommy Rustad
took command right away. Dahlgren claimed pole position and Rustad
qualified to a second position on the starting grid. The race itself was
equally impressive. The Volvo drivers defended their positions through
Mantorps infamous start corner and continued to pull away lap after lap.
Fourteen laps later, Volvo had a double victory in the bag. Dahlgren won
and Rustad took second place.
New rules
STCC has revised the race format for 2009. Each race weekend consists
now of two individual 20 minutes races. The grid is also reversed to the
second race for the eight top finishers in the first race. Consequently,
Rustad and Dahlgren started the second race as seventh and eight on the
grid. Rustad executed his fourteen laps according to strategy which
meant just time enough to advance to a fourth finish. Dahlgren managed
to advance to a sixth place in just a few laps but was then forced to
retire with technical problems. The second race was won by Richard
Göransson in BMW.
Volvos green 2009 racer shall win on all tracks
This years STCC season is underway and Volvo goes for victory. A goal
that is shared by team manager Christian Dahl:
"We have pushed as hard as possible this winter. We have a large number
of new components on the car and we have completed a very thorough
testing program. We can now see the results. We have definitely taken a
big step towards our ultimate goal - to have the speed and set-ups to
take pole and win races on all of STCC's race tracks regardless of
weather conditions.
Next STCC race weekend, where the third and fourth race of the season
will be decided, is May 23 at Karlskoga Motor Stadium. Rest assured,
Dahlgren and Rustad will be there chasing new victories in their
E85-powered and DRIVe-enhanced C30 racers.

Reversing top 8 finishers and shortening the second race to 20 minutes is weird..

Pretty common, they do it in indy lights and a number of other series.
