Geely Group Motorsport created
Polestar motorsport activities to cease has Geely brings all motorsport in house
"We have created this group in order to take the next step forward for the Geely Group regarding motorsport operations, enabling us to focus resources and expertise, plan more efficiently and to maximise the outcome of our efforts," explained Victor Yang, Geely VP of Communications.
Speaking of touring cars, bad news: there will be no Polestar WTCC racing in 2018. All Polestar motorsport activity will now be brought under the Geely Group Motorsport umbrella. So you may have seen the last of Rebel Blue S60s on the world's race tracks. Because, let's face it, combustion engined racing cars don't fit well with the Polestar message, and increasingly hold less relevance to the Volvo ethos. Some sort of EV motorsport endeavour would seem like the most logical avenue for Polestar and Geely, perhaps in Formula E. If it's good enough for Jaguar, Mercedes and Audi, after all, then it's probably good enough for Polestar... More news as it's available.
