Camaro Cup is a swedish racing class where only american Camaro cars from certain years are allowed to participate. It's a one make class where all participants are using identical material. Due to very strict regulations all drivers have the same possibility to win which makes the races interresting and tight. It's more up to drivers skill than superior material. The fans love it.
The last years the class have been a support act to the Swedish Touring Car Chamionship and will continue doing so this 2002 as well.
I'm one of two mechanics in team no. 21. The car is owned and raced by Jan Nilsson. He has been driving in this class since 1996 and I've been a mechanic in his team since 1997.

On the pictures below is our car. The car was built in the spring 1999 and here it's ready to race.

This is how the old Camaro Cup cars looked like. Quite a difference! Ther's no doubt that the new car is stunning compared to the old one. Don't you agree?
