I've been asked to post up about this very exciting event happening in two weeks time. If you want to see the Polestar C30 in the UK, this is pretty much your only opportunity! I'll be there taking my 343 R-Sport and V70R out on track, all being well. Last year's event was excellent fun, both for spectators and participants. I know it's a Friday, which is awkward for some, but it looks set to be a very worthwhile day out / off work!

Following the overwhelming success of last years? event, I am pleased to announce that Polestar Racing from Sweden have very kindly agreed to send across their C30 Polestar Performance Concept (PCP) and also a C30 (press) static display race car for the 2nd annual MRG Chippenham / T5D5 track day which I?m organising, which is scheduled to be run at Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire on Friday 8th July 2011. The car will also be available for viewing at the 5th annual Summer Meet of the High Performance Volvo Club (www.T5D5.org) at MRG (Methuen Park, Chippenham) on Saturday 9th July 2011. The C30 PCP has received outstanding reviews from the motoring press and was described as ?Epic? by Jeremy Clarkson when it was featured on the Top Gear programme. Prior to and after the event, both cars will be kept in the MRG showroom and hence be available for viewing right up till the WTCC race at Donnington Park Circuit, where Polestar will be competing in their C30 race car from 15-17th July 2011.

The C30 PCP will be heading out on to the circuit, on pre-arranged drives during the track day. Passenger laps will be offered to some spectators, subject to the appropriate circuit documents being signed and a nominal donation being made towards The Dorothy House Hospice, a local charity. There will also be motoring journalists and staff from Volvo Car UK Ltd in attendance at the event. In addition to the C30 PCP, there will be many other modified Volvo cars taking to the circuit, in various states of tune ranging from standard cars right up to 700bhp ones. Spectators will be very welcome and entrance to the event is free.

I would like to thank the Directors from Polestar Racing AB and Volvo Car UK Ltd for showing their support for the event, and also to MRG Chippenham, trade sponsors and members of the T5D5 forum for making the event possible. We look forward to welcoming you on the day!
