Andreas Bäckman beats Robert Dahlgren in second Anderstorp test

Andreas Bäckman headed points leader Robert Dahlgren by half a second in the second STCC TCR Scandinavia test of the weekend at Anderstorp, held in wet conditions – just as the first test.

Dahlgren was back after missing the majority of the first test due to a broken driveshaft.

Oliver Söderström made it two Lestrup Racing Team drivers in the top three, one second from his team-mate.

Brink Motorsport drivers Hugo Nerman and Tobias Brink occupied positions four and five, separated by just 0.017 seconds.

Mattias Andersson, who topped the first test, was sixth fastest, 1.3 seconds from the top time.

Marius Solberg Hansen was once again fastest of the privateer drivers behind the wheel of his privateer Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR while Exion Racing driver Calle Bergman rounded off the top eight.

Axel Bengtsson and Dennis Strandberg were forced to sit out the session due to technical issues.

The third test session of the weekend starts at 09:00 CEST on Saturday.
