Volvo and competition are intimately interconnected. Volvo has been involved in a wide variety of motor sports - Volvos do as well on forest tracks as they do on racing tracks, both in major championships and in minor local competitions. 1972 saw the inauguration of the Swedish Volvo Cup as a single class tor the Volvo 140, and it soon became highly popular as a track racing class. Börje Thor worked for many years as a development engineer for Volvo Cars when he was not busy winning track victories for the company. The 1972 Volvo Cup victory was followed, among other things, by the Volvo Turbo Cup victory in 1983 and when the Volvo 240 put the European elite in place in the Eurpean Touring Car Championship in the mid-nineties Börje Thor was naturally one of the drivers.
