Last weekend in Curitiba, Robert Dahlgren brought his 30-litre aspirated Volvo C2,0 to 12th and 13th positions in both races, hampered by clutch problems. Chrstian Dahl, Volvo Polestar Team Principal, said he was satisfied with his driver's performance. “ This met our expectations and is encouraging for the rest of the season., he said. Our competitors with turbo engines had the advantage of benefiting from more power, especially since we were located at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level. According to our calculations, this saved them 9/10ths seconds per revolution. When we see the small gaps on the grid, it proves that our development on the chassis during the winter has borne fruit. ". A chassis that its opponents also consider to be very good. Only the 1,6 liter turbo engine is missing which should appear in Budapest, early June.
