SEASON 2008

We ended up in the second spot in the championship this season and we are very satisfied but it's not quite good enough for us..So you will see us at the racetrack next season again.

The kick off for the Season 2008 was made in tests in the USA. First the successful test in Georgia and then the NHRA race in the Gainesville (Florida) raceway made the solid base for the Season 2008. The whole Season we were among the fastest cars and gained the fastest ET ever driven in Europe and the official top speed record. Our greatest moment was in Mantorp, Sweden from where we got the winners thropy. Our final standing in FIA European Championship serie was second. The Team likes to express our gratitude to all our supporters for the successful Season.

Media

In the Season 2008 the Finnish TV4 broadcast all FIA races in its channel; the repeat sendings were shown in Urheilukanava. Our Team and our races got much time and appearances in these programs. The Finnish V-8 MAGAZINE and the Swedish BILSPORT noticed our succeeds in their magazines. All our partners got lots of visibility and attention in the races in front of thousands of spectators, too.
