Tony Rickardsson to STCC?

Multiple Speedway World Champion Tony Rickardsson could be on the way to STCC. The Swede tested one of Flash Engineerings BMW 320si three days ago at Gelleråsen. Rickardsson recently announced that he retires from Speedway and instead will focus on racing, namely Porsche Carrera Cup – a support class to STCC.

“I tested Janne “Flash” Nilsson’s car. It doesen’t have as much power as the Porsche, but stiffer suspension and better handling,” Rickardsson said to Sportbladet.

Rickardsson admits that there are plans to move from Carrera Cup to STCC, but nothing is settled yet. Janne “Flash” Nilsson was excited after the test.

“He is very talented, but it is hard to tell. STCC is still the top series of racing in Sweden. We have nothing on paper with Tony, but he is interested and the decision is up to him,” Flash said.
