Bit of a dum question. What does the strange little badge mean? Is it something to do with start line. I have been asked several times and to be honest I have'nt got a clue. And what does the T-5R bit mean is R for racing or something else.

The R is for ' RAPID ' LOL

TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) ran the 850 BTCC cars and I believe Volvo pinched the R for the road version T5R.
