From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2019 TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship was the ninth overall season of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season, the third under the internationally recognised TCR formula, and the first with its new promoter. The season started at Ring Knutstorp on 4 May and ended at Mantorp Park on 5 October, after six rounds across Sweden.
During the off-season, the national governing body of motorsport in Sweden, Svenska Bilsportförbundet (SBF), was informed on 6 February 2019 that promotor Scandinavian touringcar corporation AB, which was responsible for the promotion of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, declared bankruptcy.[1] TCR Scandinavian Series AB, in cooperation with the circuits and SBF, took over as promoter of the STCC-series.[2]
