Top teams plans breakaway series for 2012
The fight over which regulations to be used in STCC next year has heated up as a number of teams are reported to be planning a breakaway series for 2012.
"It would be a great shame if that happens," said STCC MD Bob Huzell to TT.
The Volvo team Polestar Racing, SEAT team Brovallen Design and the two BMW teams WestCoast Racing and Flash Engineering are among the teams [named TTA - Touring Car Teams Association] behind the plans to leave STCC.
"As things currently are, we are going to do the new series, thats a 100 % certain. We have got teams, cars and tracks," said Flash Engineering team owner Jan "Flash" Nilsson to NWT.
The fight was sparked after STCC announced the BTCC regulations NGTC [Next Generation Touring Car] to be introduced in 2012 after previous negotiations with the teams to introduce Solution-F based regulations [silhouette type].
The team organization TTA has announced that they are intending to run a modified version of Solution-F for 2012.
"The cars are advanced and top of the line when it comes to environmental and safety technology, we have looked a lot at DTM and Formula One. Our first test is scheduled for the 22nd of June outside of Sweden," said "Flash".
Although reports to TouringCarTimes indicate that negotiations between STCC and the teams are still ongoing.
