    I assume you're talking about the '98-00 S70 sedan (since the current S70 is a station wagon and therefore not eligible for classification)?

    If you're talking about the '98-00 S70, it's essentially an 850 with slightly rounder sheet metal, IIRC. The 850 (93-97 GLT) is already classified in ITS, but I don't know if there are any currently being raced.

    Actually, the S70 is the sedan and the V70 is the wagon (variant).

    As a Volvo enthusiast, I'd love to see more Volvos on the track. However I doubt that the S70 will ever be competitive in ITS. Among other drawbacks (lbs/hp, fwd), like the 850, it has limited fenderwell space. This means that 205 is the widest tire that will fit.
