Aaron Slight Press Release:
STCC (Swedish Touring Car Championship) Round 4
New Zealander Aaron Slight was very pleased qualifying 4th on the grid, at a venue that he had never been to before. As well as getting used to a new car, a Volvo S60 Turbo. The Volvo S60 race car was immaculately prepared by Flash Engineering, who also run the Factory Volvo S60 Super Touring cars.
Race 1 was eventful with lots of contact with resulted in the Kiwi finishing 10th.
\'These guys are very aggressive. I thought the BTCC was full of contact until I raced here!\' - Aaron said.
Race 2 was on Sunday in front of a capacity crowd of 20,000. Aaron was forced to start from the back of the grid as the officials thought he was driving too aggressively in race 1! [Who? Aaron?]
Volvo protested the decision but Aaron was forced to start from the back of the grid. A focused and motivated Aaron carved his way through the field to finish 9th in the 15 Lap race.
\'Now that was more like it. It was fantastic trying to carve the field in this car. It feels big at times and using the turbo without going into lag was exciting too. 3 more laps would have made a big difference. It was a great opportunity and I would like to thank Volvo Cars(PAG)Sweden, Castrol Sweden and Flash Engineering\'
