Mike H. Posted October 31, 2005 Report 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.
Playboy Posted October 31, 2005 Report 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
JESSEXC Posted November 1, 2005 Report 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.
PorBleemo Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Whoa, are you saying that Volvospeed bought these cars?
Che'_Moderator Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Posted November 1, 2005 Whoa, are you saying that Volvospeed bought these cars?Just helping a friend.
PorBleemo Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Can you tell us how much your friend wants for those suckers? Out of my price range but I'd be interested to know...
fastboy Posted November 1, 2005 Report 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 again
Che'_Moderator Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report 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.

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.
UberV70 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 I'd like to see those fenders moulded into a public available wide-body kit. That would be awesome!!!
