Mattias Andersson scores best ever Dacia result

Mattias Andersson scored the best ever result for Dacia with fifth position in the STCC race at Gothenburg City Arena this past weekend.
“We said ahead of the race that top five would be a great result. Afterwards it feels like we had a shot for a podium finish, but we are of course very pleased,” said Andersson.

Andersson was one of the drivers opting for slicks and gained a lot of places towards the end of the race, but was still lapped by race winner Thed Björk.
“Perhaps I took it a bit too careful. I followed Rudholm but I wasn’t able to keep up with him and I was unfortunately lapped. It took a while to get that lap back,” said Andersson.

The Dacia Dealer Team driver climbed to ninth in the drivers standings, three points from Daniel Haglöf in eighth position.
“We were the best one-car team and gained 10 lovely points. I am looking forward to the next race,” said Andersson.

The next race takes place at Falkenberg next weekend, the final race before the STCC summer break.
