Volvo Polestar Racing has signed James Moffat for the 2016 V8 Supercars season and beyond to drive the #34 Volvo S60 Polestar V8SC.

“At 31 years old I believe that James is in the prime of his career and I am confident that he will be a very worthwhile contributor to my team,” said Garry Rogers, team owner of Garry Rogers Motorsport, the Australian racing partner to Polestar.

Moffat, son of Australian touring car legend Allan Moffat, made his V8 Supercars debut in 2010, spawning from the V8 Supercar development series where he finished as runner-up in 2009.

”I am thrilled to join Volvo Polestar Racing and Wilson Security Racing GRM for the 2016 V8 Supercars. The team has shown great progress over the past two seasons and I look forward to driving the #34 Volvo,” said Moffat.

Moffat is going to drive alongside Scott McLaughlin at Volvo Polestar Racing next season.

“I hope that I can see the #33 car in my rear view mirror now rather then in front of me,” joked Moffat.
