My colleague and friend Markus, a really small delegation from the west coast chapter of the Swedish BMW Club and me went down to Falkenberg today to watch STCC (Swedish Touring Car Championship). We started quite early for a Sunday morning so we arrived about 9:15 at the Falkenberg raceway. The weather was clear and sunny so the conditions for this day and race were just shiny. As we went down to the BMW exhibition where BMW presented it’s product range I was surprised by this rare beauty: a white M1, this car is one of the more seldom classics and was with its design and technical specs long before its time, a real Ferrari challenger and the first M-car ever built. 
Before the actual STCC race there were some other classes racing on the track:
- Superkart
- S60 Challenge
- Radical
- Veidec Trophy 600 (MC)
- Porsche Cup
- Camaro Trophy
- JTCC (Junior Touring Car Championship)
The STCC race itself was very entertaining but the track is quite short (1843m) and narrow so we could not see as many overhauls as we wanted to see but it was good racing anyway. My favorite driver Richard Göransson from the team “Flash Engineering” had to struggle with gearbox problems and reached the 9th place. Thed Björk, former BMW driver won the race with his Audi A4.
