The Volvo 242T: An Unlikely Racing Car
The Volvo 242T is not the first car that comes to mind when thinking of racing, but it has proven to be a surprise contender.
Despite its unusual appearance, with a side profile resembling stacked breeze blocks and a frontal area similar to an Ikea distribution centre, the Volvo 242T has shown its potential in racing.
- It was driven by Gordon Shedden in the Gordon Spice Trophy at the 82nd Members' Meeting.
- The car's Bastos livery made it an unexpected star of the event.
Volvo's bank-vault build quality suddenly seems rather useful in the door-banging theatricals of touring car racing, and its early mastery of turbocharging provided a genuine performance ace up the sleeve.
The car's performance has proven that it is more than just an unusual choice for racing.
