After a great introduction that made Daniel Haglof in qualifying, he made an even bigger success, and came to the first triumph (his first ever) in the official STCC race at Solvalla for Saab and PWR Racing Team. Just behind Daniel, was positioned another Saab 9-3 – Richard Göransson from Team Tido.
STCC Leader, Polestar Cyan Racing driver Thed Björk secured vital points in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship weekend at Solvalla despite carrying 50 kilos of penalty weight. The reigning champion qualified on pole position for the first race but dropped two positions to finish third. Team mate Fredrik Ekblom had a tough weekend, also carrying 50 kilos of penalty weight.
Emma Kimiläinen with Saab 9-3 provided a thrilling race to fight her way from seventh on the grid to fifth position over the finishing line.
