The Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (German: Scandinavian Touring Car Championship , STCC for short ) is a touring car championship based in Sweden and Denmark . Almost all races are held in Sweden and one in Denmark. Other national racing series are also at the start as part of the supporting program for the racing weekends. After the Swedish Touring Car Championship and the Danish Touring Car Championship held a number of joint races in 2010 and the Scandinavian Touring Car Cup was awarded, both series have merged to form the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship for 2011 .

Regulations

The vehicles that take part in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship complied with the FIA's Super 2000 regulations until 2012 .

The starting grid for the first race of an event is determined by a 20-minute qualifying . The racing drivers from the ninth fastest time go on the starting grid of the race in the order of their position at the end of the qualifying. The eight fastest drivers in qualifying will then drive the Super Pole among themselves. Each of the eight racing drivers completes a single lap, with the one with the fastest time taking pole position . Starting positions two to eight will go to the second to eighth fastest racing drivers in the Super Pole. Two races with a maximum length of 20 minutes take place on each race weekend. The starting grid for the first race is determined by qualifying and the subsequent Super Pole. In the second race, the first eight drivers from the first race start in reverse order. The drivers from ninth place in the first race start in the order of their placement in the first race. All races are opened with a flying start.

The points are distributed according to the scheme 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for the first ten racers.
