The GENIUS Rule-Bending of the Volvo 850 Estate Touring Car! | (1994 BTCC)

Ever hear of a Volvo 850 Estate (wagon) being used as a race car? Didn’t think so! 1994’s British Touring Car Championship saw two of the most unique cars ever entered when Volvo hatched a brilliant marketing scheme! But the 850 Estate touring car was more than a gimmick. Legendary race team Tom Walkinshaw Racing came up with some of the most devious and clever engineering to get around the ultra-restrictive rule book, while motorsport greats Jan Lammers and Rickard Rydell drove the wheels off the cars! This is the story of the 850 Estate touring car, its brilliantly engineered engine, and how Volvo briefly took over the motorsport world! 🎮 Download Asphalt 9: Legends (Sponsored) ➡️ https://gmlft.co/TheMotorsportStory Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:00 How the crazy idea came about! 04:15 Car Development...
