- Race format and team drivers
In SLC Endurance 3h four pit stops in each race are mandatory. Mälarverken Racing consist of three drivers, Mårten Samuelsson, Håkan Hall and me. Being three drivers creates a great team spirit and makes you learn a lot, but it also sets high pressure on each driver to deliver professionally by doing fast, smooth stints. 

- Pitstops and strategy
To be allowed to count a pit stop to the four mandatory ones, it has to consits of a driver change or switching all four wheels. Refuelling is not counted as one of the mandatory, although one mostly has to refuel during a three hour race. The car is therefore equipped with a 100-litre fuel tank and a fast fuelling system which makes onyl one quick stop necessary. This we often combine with a driver change to save an extra run through the pits. The race strategies are very important just like in Formula 1, Indy 500 or the Le Mans, and we always try to do our stpos when theres is a safety car situation or yellow flags on the track.

- Performance
During a one hour stint flat out the body is subjected to great stresses. It is usually very hot inside the car, the concentration level is extreme and the G-forces during every acceleration, braking and corner mercilessly wears out every muscle in your body. To withstand this and keep the head cool it is necessary to be in good shape as well as being able to focus mentally no matter the strain. Otherwise, when the body is exhausted, your head gets sluggish, the concentration lowers and judgement gives way and that is when mistakes start to happen.

- Goals
My season goal is to get top results as usual and win races. If that is fulfilled, we can hopefully defend the SLC Endurance 3h GT-class title of 2004. I also have as a personal goal to get a race seat in an international GT-racing series.
