Saab PWR Racing Team highlights – STCC Ring Knutstorp race day [video]

The first STCC race at Knutstorp last weekend saw one of the biggest crashes in STCC history. The crash meant that only seven cars finished the second race, illuminating the frailty of the current STCC field.  As the safety car went back in again, it was not long until a big crash involving five cars brought out the safety car again. The incident was started by Jonsson going slow through the fast corner three which forced Richard Göransson, in second place, to take avoiding action. Linus Ohlsson tried to go on the inside of Göransson, resulting in the two spinning off track in spectacular fashion and taking Fredrik Larsson, Fredrik Ekblom and Emma Kimiläinen ( PWR Racing Team) with them.

Saab driver Göransson, championship leader Larsson and Volvo driver Ekblom retired after the incident while Kimiläinen and Ohlsson were able to continue.

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.
