Scandinavian Championship?
STCC 23/05/03
The STCC has signed a long-term deal with the Swedish Motorsport Association. This deal enables the STCC to expand in Scandinavia. "The deal gives us the opportunity to develop and improve the STCC," Lennart Nodby from STCC AB said. "Our closest task is already next year to expand the championship to a Scandinavian championship with races in Sweden, Denmark and perhaps also in Norway." The development for the STCC has progressed well since the start 1996.
Today the championship is the next largest sport in Sweden after Football, but it is bigger than Hockey. Approximately half a million people see each race on TV. Some changes for immediate introduction have also been made alongside the changes for next year. The Super Pole has been moved to the Sunday of each race weekend and the Friday practice will be removed to reduce costs.
