Finally Sweden is getting a worthy GT-series, 8 years since the short lived GTR-series died. GT3 and GT4 regs, 60 minute races on 6 weekends at Anderstorp, Mantorp, Falkenberg, Ring Knutstorp and Kinnekulle Ring. I haven't been to a race in Sweden for a few years now, but I am deffo going to the race at Mantorp. I'm stoked.

Sweden doesn't have a lot of racing classes, and especially those who don't race alongside STCC always seem to be doomed. But this series is going to be broadcasted on high-exposure TV, which makes this more promising than others. Hopefully it doesn't mean that teams will move over from STCC if the series prove successful, but that the overall motorsport industry in Sweden becomes bigger and more and more teams appearing.
Over 20 cars expected in Swedish GT, including Audi R8's, Ferrari 458's and BMW Z4's in GT3-spec.
25 cars in the supporting Ginetta class.
17 in the Abarth 500 Tropheo.
Finally a package that can compete with STCC's!

Yes, still running but it is an amateur series, nothing really spectacular. Seen them a couple of times in Karlskoga.
