Emma Kimiläinen in Saab 9-3 STCC finished at 2:nd place in Heat 1

Another day in STCC with the beautiful racing Saabs.

Richard Göransson had a tough day and he had to abort the first heat after a collison with Volvos Fredrik Ekblom. Göransson also got punished for the incident and lost 5 places, from his initial 4:th position, in the starting grid for Heat 2. Despite that he managed to finish at 5:th place. Roger Samuelsson keeps on gathering points and he had a 9:th and an 8:th place at Falkenberg Motorbana.

The greatest highlight of the day was however Emma Kimiläinen. She finished at 2:nd place in Heat 1 and became the first women to get a podium place since 1996.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
