Che'_Moderator Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 The most advanced Volvos in the World are for sale. As raced in the SPEEDWorld Challenge GT series by legendary driver Derek Bell and ex-serieschampion Michael Galati. These cars come with a full spares package ofengine, transmission, suspension, body, electronics, and too many parts tolist. The cars are fully developed and extremely competitive (only 0.1 offthe fastest lap at Denver). Serious inquiries only.

Mike H. Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yup, pretty much says it all right here that Volvo Racing is no more. So sad, they had so much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playboy Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 wow, thats sad.How much are those things going to go for? I guess they are scraping the program b/c of the lack of success they had the past few years??-Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEXC Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 It's sad that such a new team is being dismantled. I was able to meet with the team twice when they came through Sebring Fl and was not impressed with there people skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 lack of sponsers sucks! I hope someone who knows what they are getting into picks these up and we see volvos racing againYou mean like a former pro diver who is currently building cars and is factory backed? No wait we tried that. The problem here was not lack of knowledge of sponsorship. It was lack of a sponsor finishing what they agreed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem here was not lack of knowledge of sponsorship. It was lack of a sponsor finishing what they agreed to.I didn't mean it like that. I know At speed knew what they were doing and I do agree that Volvo decision to pull out had a horrible effect on the program which in the end killed it. I've been in motorsports my whole life, and have seen situations like this and always think it sucks. So maybe I typed it in the wrong manner. I pledged my support to atspeed to make to Laguna, and I just think it plain sucks that this is why the program has been scrapped.I just hope that whom ever picks up the cars has success with them.
