Swedish Camaro Cup Series Holds First Races in U.S.A. at Sebring

This past weekend the first of two Swedish Camaro Cup races scheduled to take place on American soil was held at the Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida. From what we can gather from the official Swedish Camaro Cup webpage, AMLS driver Jan Magnussen, who spends most of his time behind the wheel of Corvette Racing’s C6.R’s, was the winner of both Camaro Cup races held at Sebring, but it wasn’t without a fight. In the first race Magnussen duked it out with fellow Swede Dennis Lind for the lead, and in the second race Fredrik Ros put up a good fight against Magnussen. Roughly translated, the reporters from Camaro-Cup.com said, “Jan Magnussen showed the way, to the letter. His lap times impressed directly by all.”

5th Gen and LSX fans might be a bit disappointed to know that the Swedish Camaro Cup cars are actually powered by GM Performance Parts ZZ4-based small block Chevys. However, the power output isn’t very disappointing, pumping out around 450 horsepower on E85. The bodies are also fiberglass 5th Gen replicas riding on a fabricated chassis. Not quite the Camaro “stock” car racing some of us crave, but a good start none the less.

The second American-Swedish Camaro Cup race will be held in Palm Beach International Raceway this coming weekend, February 17th and 18th.
