Despite the article mentioning the possibility of a TWR Volvo entry at Silverstone, could TWR have been doing 'contract work' so to speak for Team SRS?

TWR perheps saw potential in the Volvo after the ETC season in -85 and -86? For after all Volvo whould have also won the ETC -86 if it werent for the three victorys that was taken from them, they did run with one race with a dashboard that didnt follow the regulations, it was to light. So perheps TWR was doing 'contract work' with Volvo? Must look into this more now...
In the same time I wonder because before I read this article I had no idea about TWR being involved with Volvo in Group-A. So its very strange to that of all the pics I have of Volvo Group-A not even one have a sponsorssticker no nothing that can confirm the fact that TWR was behind Volvo in anything. Perheps he was a 'passive sponsor' like Volvo themselfs were in the beginning of Volvo entering Group-A, it was first in -85 Volvo confirmed their involvment in Group-A with Volvo. I will look in more to this with one of my swedish friends here back home and see what he can tell me about it.
This pics I enclose are the same car only in diffrent versions =) The former Per Stureson DTM winner car from -85.
