STCC GT4 Nordic

The Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC), founded in 1996, has long been one of Sweden's most iconic and beloved motorsport series. Renowned for its fiercely competitive touring car racing, it established a rich history and a strong following over decades. After a period of hiatus, the championship is set to make a highly anticipated return in 2027, rebranding as STCC GT4 Nordic. This new iteration marks a significant shift from its touring car roots, embracing the globally popular GT4 platform. The revived series will feature six race weekends held across five premier Swedish circuits, running from May to September, promising a fresh chapter for Swedish motorsport. While specific details regarding race lengths, weekend formats, and the exact points system for the STCC GT4 Nordic era are expected to be fully unveiled closer to its 2027 launch, the adoption of GT4 machinery signals an exciting future. The GT4 category is celebrated for its diverse range of production-based sports cars, offering a level playing field and promoting close, thrilling competition. This transition aims to attract a new generation of teams and drivers, fostering innovation and ensuring high-quality racing that aligns with contemporary global motorsport trends. Historically, STCC has been a proving ground for many talented drivers, with notable champions such as Jan Nilsson, Richard Göransson, and Thed Björk etching their names into the championship's legacy. The return of STCC GT4 Nordic seeks to build upon this rich heritage, aiming to re-establish itself as a premier motorsport championship in the Nordic region. The series operates under the sanctioning of Svenska Bilsportförbundet (SBF), the national governing body for motorsport in Sweden, ensuring adherence to national and international sporting regulations.
