Polestar Volvos to be numbered 61 and 62 in the WTCC

Polestar Cyan Racing’s Volvo S60 TC1s will carry numbers 61 and 62 when they challenge for FIA World Touring Car Championship success for the first time this season.

Fredrik Ekblom will run number 61 on his Volvo with team-mate and fellow Swede Thed Björk entered as number 62.

Volvo is making a long-term commitment to the WTCC through its performance brand Polestar, initially with a two-car team for multiple championship-winning drivers Björk and Ekblom but with plans for future expansion.

A full list of driver numbers will be issued early next month.
