STCC - Round 1 - Knutstorp
It's time for the season opener this weekend at Ring Knutstorp.
The Mercedes team will not run, as their engines has been delayed and won't arrive until next week. They are showing off their engineless cars though in the pits. During Thursday's test Tommy Rustad was fastest in his Opel. He also managed to crash into the fastest driver in the JTCC class (the Junior class), Therese Svensson. Rustad ran into the side of her Ford. Second fastest on Thursday was Thed Björk for the BMW Dealer Team. Third was Sturesson in the Peugeot 407 and fourth Engström in the Honda Accord. The two Volvo cars were quite a bit off the pace of the top cars. |

Is Rustad still using that old nail of the 01 BTCC Astra or has it been replaced with a new one?

It's the same car as he drove last year, but with a new engine. Last year they had to limit the revs to be able to run with the STCC rules.

Second test:
1 Richard Göransson BMW 320i 1:02.941 2 Tommy Rustad Opel Astra 1:03.018 3 Thed Björk BMW 320i 1:03.053 4 Edward Sandström Volvo S60 1:03.098 5 Mattias Andersson Alfa Romeo 156 1:03.137 6 Johan Stureson Peugot 407 1:03.146 7 Fredrik Ekblom Audi A4 1:03.169 8 Tommy Kristoffersson Audi A4 1:03.249 9 Tomas Engström Honda Accord 1:03.285 10 Robert Dahlgren Volvo S60 1:03.345 11 Jan Nilsson BMW 320i 1:03.536 12 Daniel Haglöf Honda Civic 1:03.886 13 Jens Hellström Honda Civic 1:03.889 14 Johan Nilsson BMW 320d 1:07.025 15 Joakim Gustavsson Volvo S60 1:08.917 Rustad does have some speed in that "old" Astra! Nice to see that Johan Nilsson is on the grid with his diesel BMW 320d, not bad to be 4 sec behind with the first ever S2000 car that his team have developed on their own! Interestning races tomorrow for sure, Im going there in the morning! |

The engine is being build in Lichtenstein, not sure of the company name though.

The team is called Opel Team Sweden, so its backed by the swedish importer.

Must clarify that there was no BMW diesel there. It was Johan Nilssons STCC Challenge BMW with a normal petrol engine.

A bit late, but anyhow, I really liked the new concept with the qualifying heats instead of a regular timed qualifying session, and there was some good, hard - but for the most part clean - racing. Can't wait for the next round

Just been looking at the pictures, the number 97 car looks very nice indeed. It looks like a good series, the Audi is very nice aswell.
Whats the STCC Challenge aswell? |
