Back on Track

In 2020, the Volvo Classic Racing Team will be entering the 850 T5 series of Volvos into motorsport.

The newly formed Volvo Classic-Racing team, powered by Baumann Container Raumsysteme Bonn, is bringing three racing cars – two Volvo 850 Turbo estate cars and one saloon of the same model – back onto the racetracks.

The idea was conceived in 2019. It was two successful racing campaigns in historic motorsport at the Nürburgring that led to this decision. The Volvo 850 Turbo Group A saloon, built in 2018, impressed both drivers and mechanics with its performance and driving pleasure. Since 7 October 2019, planning, organisation and technical preparation for the 2020 racing season have been underway.

Working closely with GEMEC Solutions GmbH (Kelberg) and HSO Hütter Sport Orga GmbH (Adenau), and with support from Baumann Container Raumsysteme (Bonn), the team is planning to deploy the system at national and international sprint and long-distance races.
