Nordic and Swedish Touring Car Championships

[Frank de Jong]

Since I do have some results of 1992 and 1993 from both championships, I'd like to add them to my site. The question is: was 1992 still a full Group A championship? All I see in my results are "M3" and "Sierra Cosworth", were they racing Sport Evo M3s and RS500 Sierras?
What happened in 1993, did they switch over to FIA supertouring, and did there cars compete before 1993 as well (since there were Swedish entries in the 1991 BTCC I would guess so)?

The 1992 Nordic Championship was for a combined Group A and '91 spec. DTM cars. Since no Danes (?) raced in the 1993 championship, it received very little attention in my country. I'm sure that Per-Gunnar Andersson - always one of the leading Nordic drivers at the time - had replaced his BMW M3 Sport Evolution with a 4-door BMW 3-series Super Touring car by 1993.

I think that "Peggen" Andersson was the first in Sweden to build a FIA Super Touring car, in -92 or -93. And the car he built was the former DTM, M3 that he got in -92. But i am not sure of that.

In -95 was the first Swedish championship with FIA Class 2 cars, and in 1996 the first STCC.

I think that there was a test race in -94 with Touring cars, at Falkenberg.

The first years there where also cars from the SSK series Castrol Cup.

Andersson certainly had a 4-door BMW in 1994, as I saw him race it at the Touring Car World Cup event at Donington that year.
Apparently it's the car Matt Neal used towards the end of the 1993 BTCC season:
