Robin Appelqvist close to STCC debut

By

Robin Appelqvist looks set to join the Swedish Touring Car Championship 2010 in a privately entered Alfa Romeo 156.
“We have found a car that we hopefully will buy this week,” said Appelqvist to STCC.se.

The 18 year old Swede has competed in the Junior Touring Car Championship for the past two seasons.

“This feels like the step to take from junior to senior and it is good to get a ground to learn the car,” said Appelqvist who is aiming to get to the WTCC.

Appelqvist has only driven Alfa Romeo’s in the JTCC and has got his eyes set on an S2000 specification Alfa Romeo 156, not build by N-Technology.

“It is a car that has been tested at Karlskoga and produces good lap times. It is not build by N-Technology but has got the same components,” said Appelqvist.
