24hr Nürburgring 2002
BFGoodrich Langstreckenmeisterschaft VLN Nürburgring Nordschleife
An unusual car, with growing race pedigree and a welcome addition to any stable
Sitting on a Ninco BMW chassis, with Ninco Mercedes DTM wheels and a custom interior, the car looks good on the track even unpainted.
The height and scale dimensions are correct, as is the 'far back in the cab' position of the driver. The resin shell needs little trimming and is crisp and clean.
When running it is noticeable very early on that with everything tightened down to match the BMW M3 body designed for the chassis, the Volvo is top heavy due to the resin construction.
After a quick trip into the pits and some playing with the screws to give play in the body, we placed it on the track again.
Now it is getting there, smooth into the corners and matching the BMW in performance. It is clear that this car needs basic tuning skills but then anyone buying the kit will be into building and tuning anyway and the chassis it sits on is a well proved, solid option.
The kit is available painted or unpainted, it comes complete with decals, photo etched parts and everything required, parts wise, to get it running on a track.

It is in German but our own 'thomas' will, I am sure, be willing to help you should you require it.
I look forward to mine arriving and to finishing and preparing it for the track.
