Our aiming:
Rallycross started in the end of the 60-ies due to cattle sickness when people was not able to drive the RAC rally. .
So they made a short race track and let the cars start in a row and a new sport was born.
In 1972 the first race took place in Sweden.
But during the years the cars have become more and more specialized for this type of driving, the fastest ones is explained as Formula1 racers on gravel.
Classes in Rallycross in Sweden
Division 2 : 4-wheel drived cars with turbocharging, acc 0-100 Km/h about 4,5 secs output, circa 300 brakehorsepower. In this class Mitsubishi is the most common car.
Super National : 2- wheel drived cars without turbocharging, acc 0-100 Km/h about 4,5 secs output, circa 300 brakehorsepower. In this class Volvo 240 is the most common car.
Class 1400: in this class is the volym of the engines at the most 1400 cc and the output about 120 horsepower.
It all started in 1992 when Niklas - "Nicke" brought home 2 engines from Volvo 850, that he should use in his racecar, a Volvo 360. But during the qualification laps in the Swedish Championship at Pengfors Motor Stadium in Vannas, he wasn´t so successfull - so well, behind the speakertower, he let a left-front wheel go into the gravel and the car made one terrible turnover and it resulted in a change of chassis.
After that he talked about Volvo´s 850 model as next car to build and it was in that moment Mikael - "Micke" said -"OK- I shall build one also". They started to look for some chassis at the junkyards - but nothing was found to build on.
Then Micke contacted the firm of Volvo to asking for a brand new chassis and here comes a negative quotation from the phonecall made -"and it´s not going to be any bastards on the racetracks" - end quotation.
So Nicke brought another car from Pite-Pelles, a Daf and continued to drive in the northern parts of Sweden.
The story changed direction in the autumn of 1996 whenVolvo finally lets the chassis go out on the market.When Nicke finds out he tells Micke so - a Friday in August - and next Monday morning Micke calls Steffanssons Automotive SAM and orders 1 chassis, but doesn´t tell Nicke
Micke is just walking around with a smile on his face for 2 weeks or so, but after that he can not keep the secret any longer. He has to tell - and Nicke answers with a scream and get´s a very sad look in his face, because he also wants to drive a new car (the Daf was placed in the forest with a demolished side after a start accident and it was not allowed to be used in the Swedish Championships any more). After seeing Nicke´s sad face for a couple of weeks, their father orders a additional chassis.
Since that day the building of the cars has improved very slowly depending of the regulations how to build has been under construction.
