Che'_Moderator Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Nice!Volvo's AWD system ?, or the Evolve mod mentioned (by can't remember who... not sure it's actually a reality )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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
