Turning an $850 Budget Volvo into a BTCC Inspired Track Monster - The 850 Project (1/2)

►In Season 2, Jacob and the 850 return to take a proven concept and build on it, creating the ultimate track wagon. Removing a ton of weight from the interior, adding chassis stiffness and motorsport-grade safety equipment, upgrading the braking artillery, and turning the 2.4 RN into a fire-breathing BTCC monster, Jacob and his Volvo set out to create the sights, smells, and sounds of British Touring Car in the 1990s.

Following a full season of building up his $850 Volvo 850, Jacob and the wagon hit the FCP Euro Proving Grounds to shake down "The 850 Project" for the first time, before heading back to the drawing board to make it even faster. How will it fare? Tune into the rest of Season 2 of "The 850 Project" and watch the 850 and Jacob's driving "level up!"
