The Chevrolet team will enter a fourth Lacetti WTC in the Race of Sweden (Anderstorp, 28-29 July 2007), the seventh round of the WTCC for local hero Rickard Rydell. The Swedish driver, one of the top touring car drivers in the world, will make a come-back to the WTCC in his home event and on a track he knows particularly well.
Rydell’s presence alongside regular Chevrolet drivers Alain Menu, Nicola Larini and Rob Huff will be a significant plus for the team at a crucial point of the season. It will also boost interest in Sweden for this first-ever WTCC race in the country. The deal has been made possible thanks also to Eurosport. Rickard’s Chevrolet, which will carry the number 88, will be equipped with on-board TV cameras to further enhance his participation.
“I am very pleased of having the opportunity to join a well-established and winning team like Chevrolet and RML for my home race of the WTCC,” said Rickard Rydell. I am confident we can do an excellent job together and I will do my utmost to contribute to the team’s efforts. I mainly consider myself as a touring car driver, these are the cars I enjoy the most, and I am very happy to be back in the WTCC. This is really a wonderful opportunity and I thank Chevrolet and Eurosport for it. Needless to say, I am anxious to be in Anderstorp. The race is taking place in the holiday season and there should be quite a number of fans and a terrific atmosphere...”
