n the 8-9:th of May the Swedish Cup kicked off in Vaxjo south of Sweden!
Unfortunately the weekend brought very cold weather around, 5 degree and light rain in two days, not so fun but despite that drivers was very eager to race again after a long winterbreak. After the qualifications result was not as normal as some only drove a few laps to save the cars and test tires for the finals.
The running times of the finals was shortend due to the demanding conditions, in the end the result came out as follows.

Strong performance by young female Serpent driver Emelie Karlsson as well as Tomas Nasstrom.
