Would the V40 make a good British Touring Car?:idea:

@rottie...good post Sir! It would only make a good proposition if BMW, Audi and Mercedes were involved and on our side, Messrs. Polestar "chipped" in. Bearing in mind the absolutely fantastic clip of the S60 polestar against our friends and the works version in the Swedish equivalent...OMG can you imagine the next trip to Brands Hatch...forget the 850's!?

Dunno about the BTCC but I was told Volvo are in the Aussie V8 Championship next year. Probably with the S60 tho.

Well, BMW are there with the EBAY Motors 1-series, Audi with Rob Austin's A4 and rumours of an A3 entry, and Ciceley switching from a Toyota Avensis to a new Merc A-class, so all the other "premium hatch" marques are there - so why not. Even if not a full factory / Polestar effort like the Swedish Touring S60 or the Aussie V8, then the BTCC rules may encourage a privateer over the next couple of years..

The focus is in so I could not see why it could not be in, however bttc is boring, go to lemans to see some real racing (it is a lot cheaper than you expect)

I had to take a picture of this when I collected my car from the garage on Friday and after a service...I was instantly minded of this thread and the thought of a BTCC Volvo V40...strictly a showroom mock up of course!
