Aaron Slight to drive Official VOLVO entry in the S60 Challenge

Volvo STCCThis weekend will see Aaron driving for his regular BTCC team at Silverstone, UK in his Vauxhall Astra Coupe. Upon finishing this race weekend Aaron will be flying directly to Sweden to compete in the Swedish Touring Car Championship support race the following weekend.

The Swedish Touring Car Championship support event will be a one off appearance for Aaron in the Swedish Volvo S60 Challenge at the Gallerasen circuit in Karlskoga on June 8th and 9th. The Volvo Challenge is a series for the 265bhp turbocharged S60 saloons! The car will be quite exciting and it also re-unites Aaron with Castrol as the sponsor of his race car.

"I found the proposal to be interesting and my answer was yes straight away. I will drive under professional circumstances in a great team, and it felt right to drive a Castrol-Car as Iīve been sponsored by Castrol for a long period of time in my career on Superbikes" - Aaron Slight

The race this weekend will take place in Karlskoga, Sweden. The track is relatively technical and has the longest right turn of all the Swedish circuits. Aaron has never raced there before.

"I donīt know anything about the circuit and I donīt feel pressured by it. It will be a great experience and I hope I do well " - Aaron Slight

"Aaron is currently leading the Independents title in the BTCC and is hoping to have a successful weekend before leaving for Stockholm for the following weekends race. It's going to be a very exciting few days for Aaron." - Tubbs Wanigasekera, Manager Aaron Slight
