Ford has nothing to do with Volvos racing in STCC/WTCC. If Volvo wants to race in WTCC its with Polestar Racing with money from Volvo here in Sweden, Ford has no say in this, afaik, and why would they? Volvo is doing just fine, Ford might not be.

In any case, the should put up a good show, because both drivers are really skilled and the car is really fast (though it seems to chew through tires a bit too quick...)
Next year WTCC will use biofuel:

Perhaps you should go to the Swedish TV website? There you can download & see the C30 compeating in this years Göteborg city race. It's like Macau, only better, since it's actually a track you can pass on...

http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/share...171040&d=68520

PS Dahlgren BTW slammed his C30 straight into the barriers in Göterborgs Saturday testing session, literally spent the night at the hopspital, and against doctors recomendations got into his completely rebuilt car on Sunday morning and put himself on pole. How he managed competing while enduring massive pain thoughout the 40min race I will let you find out from the video to not spoil the event.

Are we now actually arguing about who has the most dangerous track???
As an unbiased Dutchman, I really have to go for Macaou. That track has so much more to offer. No wonder, since it is almost 4 times longer! That is on TV though. I think for spectators the Gothenburg-race was ace.
BTW, they are both pretty dangerous. But if we talk of men-tracks; in Macaou they also race superbikes at the track!

Not really, Macau for sure is the most dangerous. Was just pointing out that Volvo and it's drivers isn't deliberately avoiding streetraces due to being lame, as was implied.
