Stig Blomqvist wins La Carrera Panamericana 2009!
Everything came together this year. Best driver/co driver, car worked without any problem, flaw less crew and lots of preparation.
We also had a car in second place with Lars Stugemo and Jonny Olofsson, fifth was Karl Scheible with our yellow Volvo and sixth was Ed Hugo in the LT.
First and second overall, first in Sport Major and 4 cars in the top six is something that you can only dream about.
I would like to thank everybody on the team; Drivers/co drivers, a wonderful mix of Mexican and Swedish mechanics and my wife Eva who handles all the hotels and makes sure we are all at the right spot at the right time.
It is truly amazing to see all the mechanics working until 3 in the morning every day. Then you have to leave at around six in the morning to get to the next service.
Lots of driving, no time for real food and 3 hours of sleep. Now try to repeat this for 7 days straight. Still everybody is happy and working like crazy helping each other. Extraordinary!
More pictures and stories will come.
Again, thank you everybody!
