The WestCoast Racing drivers are out for revenge as they prepare for the STCC-weekend in Denmark. Richard Göransson heads to Jyllandsringen, stronger than ever after his double victory in Karlskoga, to claim the victory he lost to the accident in the season opener. Martin Öhlin left Karlskoga two weeks ago disappointed to miss out on a podium and he heads to Denmark to make amends.
”We are both out for revenge,” says Richard Göransson. ”I go to Denmark to take the win that was ours in the first race of the year and that we never got. Jyllandsringen is a track where we are fast and I’m going there for maximum attack. I have no reason to hold back and be conservative, there is just full attack and nothing else and the goal is of course a race win.”

He doesn’t have any doubts about returning to Jyllandsringen after his accident there. Richard looks forward to another strong weekend for WestCoast Racing and to be the star in a very strong field of drivers.
”It’s a track like any other track and there is no option but to just keep going. Karlskoga was the first weekend after my comeback where I felt I could go at 100% and now we just have to keep going. We are in great shape right now, I look forward to an exciting weekend with some tough competition. There are a couple of new strong drivers this weekend who will be fast in light cars. We will give them and everyone else a real run for their money!”

Richard Göransson has won three of the last six races and is fourth in the championship after the two race victories in Karlskoga. He has not changed his goal for the remainder of the season.
”We are leading our own championship, the one that started in Gothenburg and ends at Mantorp, quite comfortably and we will win that championship. We actually are in the hunt for a top three in the overall championship and that is not an impossible goal now. But I have no reason to drive to secure those points. We will keep attacking,” Richard says.

Martin Öhlin is equally charged for the weekend. He left Karlskoga two weeks ago disappointed after having started second in the second heat only to be pushed off the track at the start. He now looks forward to Jyllandsringen where he proved to be fast in the season opener.
”I was obviously disappointed after Karlskoga and I will use that disappointment for revenge in Denmark,” he says. ”It’s about time now to get dividends for the speed that is in me and the car. Jyllandsringen is a good track for the BMW and I will aim for a lot of points and a place on the podium.”

Martin Öhlin is far behind in the overall championship after four weekends with few or no points. He has now set himself another goal for the remainder of the season.
”There is no reason to look at the championship position now, all that matters now are good weekends and max attack for me. Richard has advanced quickly and if I can score a lot of points and mix it up there he gains for that as well. I will go for it.”
