First ever diesel entered, 2005-04-25, 13:15:49
The first ever Super 2000 diesel racing car will take part in STCC this year. Håkan Johansson is building a BMW 320 E46 diesel and hopes to be ready for the premiere at Knutstorp in May. "With the national rules of STCC it is possible, but we are not quite how this will work. No one has done this before," Håkan said.
The diesel engine is expected to put out around 230 to 240 bhp. "That is what we should have to be competitive. The rules say that there cannot be any visual smoke from the exhaust. Due to the environmental reasons and to get rid of the smoke we are planning to run a special filter," Håkan explained.
Håkan has driven race car for six year and has no doubt that he can hang on to the opponents. "I have the routine, it all depends on the engine if we can be compettetive," Håkan said. The premiere takes off at the 22:nd of May where Håkan will have to face 17 other STCC cars.
