But of course! It's rare for a car to create the sort of attention that the 850 did when Volvo started racing in the BTCC... Ask anyone who likes BTCC to name a racing car from the series and I bet the Volvo 850, Ford Sierra Cosworth and possibly Jaguar are mentioned before anything else past or present. So naturally you'd want the most noticeable on your front cover

I was being hounded by them as my I/C had that
Massive crack in it, so I wasn't even making 1bar of boost and I didn't
Know the track!
Is that enough excuses?? Lol

ok a quick update

during the year P8R dont score points,each event is in its own right.
but just for a laugh,points have been allocated.

I finished 25th out of 89 overall
and 8th in my class

I'm quite pleased with that,consideringI'm miles off the pace! lol

[p fandango]

finishing in the top 10 of your class is impressive mate, hopefully next year you'll be able to battle higher up & in the top 5

ps out of interest, where did the JCB finish in the overall standings? lol
