Ahead of the first Gothenburg City Race in 2008, STCC only had a 5 year deal with the city/municipality. This was extended a few years, can't remember the details. But I believe it hasn't been a secret since day one that the city wants to turn it into a residential area, as plans for the development has been around for a few years.
So Volvo brand does not suit motorsport, Alain Wisser said. And now they are dropping the race (at their own circuit in their home town) in favour of boats... I think STCC needs the city race. Which event was actually scheduled first? Cars or boats? If the STCC race was first, then it says a lot of the state STCC is in today (not that we didn't already know). If boats were first, than it's a matter of bad planning before signing the deals.
