VOLVO 850 RACING'S TOP DRIVER LINE-UP FOR 1996
TWR/Volvo 850 Racing's 1996 driver line-up, Rickard Rydell and
new recruit, 1993 F3 Champion, Kelvin Burt, have been setting
impressive times during testing at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch
and Snetterton in preparation for the Team's 1996 Championship
challenge.
28-year old Swede, Rydell, now entering his third season, finished 3rd in
the Auto Trader RA(' Touring Car Championship in `95 and must be one
of the Championship favourites for 1996. He is joined by
young Tamworthian Kelvin Burt, who made his BTCC debut in 1994.
Burt's seemingly easy transition from Single-Seaters to Touring Cars
made him a valuable asset to Ford in 1995 and his win at Snetterton
and excellent performance at the World Cup at Paul Ricard last
October made him a desirable acquisition for TWR/Volvo 850 Racing.
TWR Race Director Roger Silman, "Kelvin is one of the top young
stars and we are delighted to have him on-board - I think the
combination of Rydell and Burt will give Volvo 850 Racing one of the
quickest driver line-ups in this year's Championship, as our recent
testing times have shown."
