Rydell completes first test with Chevrolet

Rickard Rydell completed the first test with Chevrolet Team Sweden yesterday in preparation ahead of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship 2011.
“It was a very much positive test, the guys in the team are working well and it is really good that we already in october have started the pre-season tests,” said Rydell.

The Swede completed a full test day at Mantorp Park and team boss Nicklas Karlsson was pleased.

“The test at Mantorp is perhaps most of all about Rickard familiarizing him self with the car and the team, but it also gives us the opportunity to work together before we go abroad for further testing,” said Karlsson.

Rydell completed a test for the Chevrolet team earlier this year, before signing the contract, at Knutstorp, making this test his second ever run in the Chevrolet Cruze.

“There is a lot of things that we need to work on the setup of the car and the advantage that I see is that the team has run the car in STCC this year, giving us a great platform to start from. And it is going to be needed, the championship was tough this year and is going to be tougher next year,” said Rydell.
