WestCoast Racing left the testday at Gelleråsen in Karlskoga with a mixed result. Richard Göransson were as expected among the fastest all day and ended up with sixth fastet time after having spent the afternoon session working on the set-up for the weekend.
”We are pleased with today,” Richard says. ”We didn’t quite nail the fial qualifying run but we are on the pace. As usual we have a strong race pace and it feels like we’ve found the settings for the weekend. The goal remains, we are going for victory.”

For Martin Öhlin however, the testday were more problem filled. He were left standing in the pits during the afternoon when the engine in his car kept misfiring and he lost vital track time when the track were faster after the lunch break.
”A bad day. The engine misfired the whole afternoon and we were forced to remain in the garage instead. It was a shame, it would have been useful to run in the afternon as well but better this happens now than in the weekend. We will fix this and come back strong tomorrow,” he says.
