By claiming the fourth straight win of this season’s Swedish GT championship, Fredrik Lestrup and Fredrik Larsson secured the top spot in the championship. Fredrik Lestrup, who has driven the past four GT races, drove the final stint of the season’s last race at Ring Knutstorp and took the driver’s title.
”I’m really happy. We won the championship and that was the target,” Fredrik exclaimed after crossing the finish line. ”This race was really tough and I had to drive hard to keep the lead across the line. The tyres were worn by the end, and it wasn’t easy, but we did it. WestCoast Racing have done an amazing job. What a team to drive for! Fredrik Larsson did a fantastic job during the first stint today and now we’re the champions. It’s a great boost to get the title and the experience will be good for the coming races in Germany.”

Fredrik Larsson started the race and drove the first stint. He opened up a big gap, which he was then forced to rebuild after a period under safety car halfway through his stint. He pitted after about half the race and handed the car over to Fredrik Lestrup.
”Great, this was what we wanted. It was tight at the end, but winning is enough. I’m really happy I could be a part of helping WestCoast Racing and Fredrik Lestrup win the championship. This was the target when Dick and I started working together, and three wins out of three races seems okay,” Fredrik Larsson said.

Team manager Dick Jönsson Wigroth was of course pleased that WestCoast Racing have once again claimed a championship win.
”This was the championship we had a chance to win this year, and we did,” said Dick. ”A good start to our GT programme, and Fredrik Lestrup has done a fantastic job. Working with Fredrik Larsson has also been a lot of fun, and the key to the victory is definitely the fact that we have had two very good drivers.”
