Race report by Markus Hellquist
The third round of the South Swedish Cup in electric touring cars was held in Alvesta by Wäxjö MS. There was 24 entries split between Modified and Stock. The track was fairly technical with a lot of sharp corners.

There were three rounds of qualifying and the local driver Markus Hellquist dominated all of them, not giving the others a real chance to challenge for the TQ spot. The battle for the runner up spot between Jonas Andersson and Daniel Carlsson was more of a battle, but with a great 2nd run from Jonas Andersson he managed to secure the second place ahead of Daniel Carlsson in third.
But even though the 2nd spot was a good battle, the fourth, fifth and sixth place was a thrilling show where 3 drivers fought to the end with only 1 second separating all three of them after 5 minutes.
