Does anybody know were we can catch stcc 2008 coverage? i realise it wont be on uk tv, but anybodyknow of any websites that streams it as it happens or just after?

I don't have a clue, but I am looking forward to seeing the Volvo C30's in action. Hopefully if they go well they may be in the BTCC soon.

If you're lucky you should be able to see it via SVT's web page. Here's this year's races - Round 1 on the bottom, final race at the top...

I don't know how much you know about the STCC or its drivers, but 2006 champion Thed Björk will drive for Honda this year as his former team KMS (Audi) has lost its works support from Germany, Audi not wanting to develop a WTCC car of its new A4, instead concentrating on DTM and Le Mans. This means KMS don't have the budget to further develop their current A4s, and it's yet undecided whether or not they will run the two cars in this years championship.

I hope they do, as the Audis are one of a kind and not seen in any other championship. Same goes for the Volvo C30, though I hope Volvo will take their "Green Team" to tackle the WTCC soon.

As a side note it's worth mentioning that our crown prince Carl Philip will compete in the Porsche Carrera Cup which runs with the STCC.

So is Tommy Kristofferson still racing or just running the team these days?

[markf8691]

kristofferson is racing in stcc this year, just entering one audi, pity audi would be well good in touring cars with the A4.

But even though development money will be greatly reduced, the car should still be very competitive for at least another year?

thanks alot for the link. I'd really like to see how the c30's do... seeing as I have both a 2004 S60R, 2001 V70R, and 1986 245DL and my baby sister just got a C30 as a first car. I loved the old 94 850 btcc car... :p

edit: im assuming we're gonna have to wait till after the race to see the streaming videos... right?
