After having begun production of the 2011 Volvo S60, Volvo is now putting its attention to its entry into 2010 the Belgian Touring Car Series, which starts April 11. The Belgian arm of the Swedish automaker said that the BTCS is a six-race endurance series. While almost all races consist of two 90-minute heats, a 12-hour race occurs at legendary Spa-Francorchamps. Its rivals at the race include BMW, Audi, Jaguar, and Volkswagen. The racing S60 falls under Silhouette S1 specification. This means that all cars have to use a tubular chassis, identical front and rear suspension, aerodynamics, and an engine that must be smaller than 3500 cubic-centimeters. The team, which includes drivers Vincent Radermecker and Eric Van De Poele, has a goal of getting acquainted with the new car, according to manager Thomas Neri. In a press release, Neri said that the team’s main objective is to get up to speed and to compete well in the various heats. Neri added that he hopes to put its own in-house developed engine in the car.
