Emelie Liljeström joins Team Kia

The Scandinavian Touring Car Championship gets its second female driver for the 2015 season in the form of Emelie Liljeström driving for Team Kia.
”This is going to be insanely good,” said Liljeström.

The 19-year-old finished second overall in the 2013 Radical Sweden championship and finished 12th overall in the 2014 Junior Touring Car Championship.
”Emelie is really goal oriented and has got great potential. It is of course going to be tough for her in the STCC, but I think she is going to learn quickly,” said Tobias Johansson, Team Kia team manager.

Liljeström is so far confirmed for the first three STCC races of 2015, but with the ambition to drive full season.
”No matter what you are going to drive, it is very much about money and it feels smartest to go for STCC. Right now we have budget for three races, but we are working on getting budget for all races,” said Liljeström.

Liljeström joins already signed driver Kevin Aabol at Team Kia, with the third driver remaining to be revealed.
