2024 STCC Scandinavia Touring Car Championship

The 2024 STCC season will be the fourteenth season of the championship and the first season to feature new all-electric touring cars, built to specifications custom designed for the championship. The season is scheduled to start on June 8 at Gothenburg and conclude on September 21 at Mantorp Park. The championship organizing committee has opted to reschedule the electrified STCC season to 2024, primarily in response to supplier shortages that have hindered the production of all 12 required racing cars.[1]

The reigning drivers' champion from the 2022 season was Robert Dahlgren, who drove a CUPRA Leon Competición TCR. His team, CUPRA Dealer Team - PWR Racing, also won the team title. Axel Bengtsson, also driving a CUPRA Leon Competición TCR, was the junior drivers' champion, while Marius Solberg Hansen, in a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, won the Däckteam trophy.[2]

By becoming the world's first electric national championship 2024 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship will mark a significant milestone in the motorsports industry's transition towards sustainability and pave the way for more electric racing series to emerge in the future.[3]
