![]() Now I finally get the chance," says an eager Robert Dahlgren. "How cool is it going to be to race the Volvo 240 on the Gothenburg track! When I was growing up, all my friends were driving 240s. But he will of course be testing them all, and one of the contenders seems to be exerting a particular attraction. Robert Dahlgren is convinced that his own Volvo C30 will be the best car in the game. Many of the people playing the game are experts - and they are very particular about the tiniest details. Even the kerbs alongside the track have to be of exactly the right height. It takes about 1000 hours to create a virtual racing track. The two racing tracks have been reproduced with faithful detail and immense precision. For that car we pulled one of the race cars out of hibernation last autumn and gave it a thorough full-speed workout, recording the engine sound straight from the racing track," explains Magnus Ling Executive Vice President at SimBin. "In terms of audio quality we're also remarkably close to reality. In order to recreate the older cars' interiors as authentically as possible, the designers visited the Volvo Museum to study the former racing legends. The classic Volvo 240 Turbo Group A, for instance, has entirely different driving characteristics compared with the latest newcomer, the Volvo S60 Concept. It's almost like getting behind the wheel, which is rather unusual in car games. True to form, the six cars each have different driving characteristics. Just "building" a car for a racing game takes about one month. The game developers have invested huge numbers of hours in getting all the details exactly right. The aim was to make it as realistic as possible. His question was simple: "Can you make a PC-based racing game that has broad public appeal, features only Volvo models and introduces our new concept car, the Volvo S60 Concept?"Ī team of 15-20 people worked together to create Volvo - The Game. The STCC game inspired Pontus Berger, who at the time worked with licensing issues at Volvo Cars. The idea behind Volvo - The Game was born in autumn 2008 when the STCC game was released. Volvo - The Game is the only virtual racing game in the world to feature the Ukrainian racing track. The two tracks are the Gothenburg Eco Drive Arena in Göteborg, Sweden and Chayka outside Kiev in the Ukraine. The lead roles are played by the Volvo S60 Concept, the Volvo C30 that is currently competing in the STCC, the previous Volvo S60 that also competed in the STCC, the Volvo S40 that notched up many notable successes in the BTCC (the British Touring Car Championship), the Volvo 850- the estate car that became a legend in the BTCC - and finally a true racing classic from the past, a Volvo 240 Turbo Group A. Volvo - The Game features six different cars and the race is run on two authentically reproduced racing tracks. "Playing racing games helps me train my ability to concentrate and to maintain my level of concentration over many laps," says Robert Dahlgren. Like most other professional racing drivers, Robert Dahlgren uses virtual racing games to train when the racing season comes to an end. He has achieved immense success for Volvo in the STCC - the Swedish Touring Car Championship - since 2004. One person who will definitely play Volvo - The Game is Swedish racing star Robert Dahlgren.
