Hi
this is the Svensk Tiger Team car, which I have the plessure to share driving since the beginning of this season.
It is a 1965 Volvo Amazon with 1.8 l engine, race prepared according to FIA annexe K, which means it is pretty much standard regarding engine volume, SU carburators and brakes. It is equipped with a roll cage and a 70 l fuelcell.
We run in the german FHR (Fahrergemeinschaft Historischer Rennsport ~ Driverscommunity Historic Racing) Marathon Class, that means long distance races 3-4 hours with driver change. Normally we run it with 3 drivers, which means we do 1 stop more than most others...nevertheless we often manage to finish in the first third of the grid. To win you have to finish, and that what our brave Amazon always does...
We all do this for fun, and we have lots of it!
