2012 TTA – Racing Elite League
The 2012 TTA – Racing Elite League season was the only season of the new Racing Elite League run by the Touring Car Team Association. The championship was formed as a breakaway from the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship. Following the season, the two series announced their reunification, under the STCC name but with the TTA technical regulations.[1] Fredrik Ekblom won the championship, driving for Volvo Polestar Racing.
