Competing in the Touring Car class of World Challenge, the Toronto native achieved four victories and six pole positions in only 12 races in his first season driving for the K-Pax team. Originally designed by Canadian Simon Lamarre, the balance, agility and performance of the turbocharged C30 make for an ideal racecar platform. This particular Volvo C30 arrived at the K-Pax facility last winter where a team of engineers and technicians immediately set to work, taking only four weeks to build a full-spec competition touring car.
"It is an amazing feat that K-Pax Racing took delivery of this bone-stock Volvo C30 and transformed it into a winning racecar all within a span of four months," explained Povoledo. "An achievement like this is unheard of. It's the ultimate testimony to how dedicated this team is and how great of a platform the C30 was to begin with."
Visit the Volvo booth in the 800 level of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) over the duration of the show or come by on Family Day (Monday, February 20th) to meet Aaron Povoledo and get a free poster - while supplies last!
