bugger.
First time I’ve seen this, 
so haven’t had the chance to reply.
I know that truck well, the team is based near Watton and used to do the GP2 series at the same time as I was doing it.
They built 2 identical transporters at a time when they ran 2 F3000 teams and bought 420 Renault Premiums. The trailers aren’t as good as they might appear, they are heavy and because of the office in the front most of the weight is distributed into the rear, that and the covered wheels means a lot of problems with tyres blowing out, a common problem with race transporters.
With the Premiums they do struggle up hills, but it isn’t the reason they got a Volvo, that came about as part payment for a seasons racing, the drivers father had an Volvo trucks dealership in Italy.
This is from 2005 parked up in the Novotel car park in Macon on the way to a test at Paul Ricard, my truck is the background.
