Volvo is back in international motorsport, and it's ready to make its mark again.
Having dominated its domestic scene for the previous four years, and with an established V8 Supercars project in good health, the marque has decided the time is right to take on its biggest challenge to date, with a two-car assault on the World Touring Car Championship through its motorsport partner, Polestar Cyan Racing.
That Volvo has reached its decision at a time where it has stability in its other projects is beneficial, but it owes nothing to the green-lighting of its WTCC programme.
