Racing season is now in full swing and as the days go by, we're seeing more and more racing series begin their respective seasons.

One that's scheduled to start in a month's time is the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC) and Romanian automaker, Dacia->ke1020, is preparing for the series with a new racecar in the form of a second-generation Logan that has been christened as the Logan STCC 1024.

After plying its craft in Pikes Peak with its custom Duster rally cars, Dacia wants to make headway at the STCC and it picked a pretty good car to do it, thanks to the Logan's 400-horsepower V-6 engine that's mated to a six-speed sequential transmission. Add that to a model that only weighs slightly north of 1,100 kg (2,425 pounds) and you have a racecar that's ridiculously quick and can bust out of the gates with the nimbleness and power of a pouncing panther.

Hyperbole notwithstanding, the Logan STCC 1024 looks ready for competition and it will get its chance to show everyone what it's got when the STCC season kicks off on May 3rd.
