The Brazilian track of Curitiba decided what until today was a close fight between FlatOut Club and the Roaring Pipes Maniacs.

Both teams showed a very constant performance during all the championship, specially RPM with 8 podium finishes in 12 races, a great record considering they were only twice out of the TOP 5.

Jari Vinnari and Kevin Ascher were the base of the team, scoring 222 of the 404 the team needed to conquer the championship, but other team members contributed to this victory with valuable points like Cristopher Aponte, a.k.a. as "Señor Barriga" from simracing folks.

There were memmorable momments for R.P.M. in this challenge like their 1-2 victory in Anderstorp GT Sport race where Kevin and Jari starter from 3rd and 4th positions in grid to take the highest places on podium.

finales

Mike Simian and tom Ilsbroux where the golden pair in FlatOut scoring 181 of 388 team point's and consolidating their team like a clear alternative for next STC season.

FlatOut  Club success is based on regularity, driving their cars safely to the end of most of races but also claiming victory in the name of Mike Simian at GT Pro race in Hockenheim's race.

The third team im podium, but far from the top two, was The Black Rebels, that paid all the problems they suffered in races in points, but still claiming 3 victories in a row for David Greco and another one from one of the team's founders Ben Buitendjik.

The francophone Team GG started the season in the best possible way scoring a 1-2 on Hockenheim, same as GMT-DH Racing did in their second race at Anderstorp. Three more victories were to come, and that makes us think about how close the season end it could be with GMT-DH Racing present from first race.

Also Degen racing won a race on this first (and last, as we change name to STC) ETC season, this was last friday on Curitiba, were Thor Qualmann led the race for 57 laps to became the first Degen racer winning in this challenge.

From the ETC we want to also thank [Ane]Racing, The Burning Tires and Blue Flag Racing for their support to this championship hoping they have better luck in the future races so they can make it to their first victory, as well as welcome Torrent Motorsports, Sonic Team and Precision Motorsports to our STC family.

Good luck and see you next season!.
