We are a grassroots motor racing team, based out of Albion (and sometime Grand Rapids), Michigan. Why race a Volvo-badged land yacht? Why not?!

We aren't your average racing team. We don't have much funding, we don't have a state-of-the-art garage, and we don't exactly drive a normal racecar. Instead, we bring something different to the table.
​
It all started when a young man thought of the ludicrous idea to rally something that you wouldn't normally see on gravel; something that would be more at home in a dentist's garage than Scandinavian flicking its way through the woods. As he befriended more and more car enthusiasts eager to help, his idea fledged. During his freshman year of college, he befriended a woman who was just as passionate as he was about racing who also happened to have racing experience. She volunteered to co-drive, and that is when the team really started to come together.
​
Of course, we're still in the process of building the car, and it willl be a couple of years before we're officially "out there." However, our passion for the sport is still there, and we're eager to compete as soon as we can. We don't need to be the fastest team, or the ones with the most exciting story. We just need to have fun, and prove that what we set out to do CAN be done.
We are Volboat Rallysport.
