TTA – Racing Elite League was a Swedish Touring Car Championship started in 2012, which was founded by four of the biggest teams in Swedish Touring Car racing: Polestar Racing, Flash Engineering, WestCoast Racing and Brovallen Design in 2011. TTA worked with the Swedish Automobile Sports Federation[2] and the race car was developed by the French motorsport company Solution-F. The car is a silhouette, where the chassis and powertrain are standardized and custom-built for racing, and where the body is molded from composite material to mimic a normal car.
TTA bought the Swedish Racing League and renamed it to the TTA – Elitserien i Racing (TTA – Racing Elite League).

The season begun at Karlskoga Motorstadion and will end with Göteborg City Race. The season will see four different models from four different manufacturers: BMW, Citroën, Saab and Volvo.[1]
