Riley Racing is pleased to officially announce that they will be campaigning a Volvo S40 T5 for the entire 2006 SPEED World Challenge Touring Car season, beginning with Sebring in March.

Riley Racing has just recently acquired a chassis and engine, and has already begun to prepare for Sebring. The team is being managed by Chris Riley, current President of Stamford Volvo, located in Stamford, CT, and the car will be driven by Jameson Riley, who drove for the Volvo Factory team in SPEED GT for the past two years. This team will be a family effort maintaining professional standards.

Heico Sportiv will be the Official Technical Partner of Riley Racing for the 2006 season, helping to supply chassis and engine data throughout the year. Heico Sportiv is a German based company that supplies aftermarket products exclusively for Volvos; they have recently created an American base, located in Providence, Rhode Island. On that note, Jameson Riley will also be driving for the German Heico Sportiv team in a Volvo S40 T5 in the 24 hours of Nürburgring in June.

Riley Racing is also teaming up with Autosport Development to help with chassis development. We have chosen Autosport Development because they have proven themselves successful over the past years, and most recently in SPEED GT with their pair of GTOs.

Riley Racing will also be following the progress of this car as it develops from a street car shell into a racing machine, and they will be presenting this story for everyone to see and read via the internet. Rileyracing.com run these Feature Articles throughout the process.

This press release is only the beginning…stay tuned for many updates during the next two months leading up to Sebring in March. Riley Racing is already hard at work preparing this car for the first event, and they plan on showing up at Sebring ready to race. Please stay tuned to Rileyracing.com for updates.
