WestCoast Racing was established in 1994 by Dick Jönsson Wigroth and today it is one of Sweden’s most successful racing teams. Since 2012 WestCoast Racing is one of four founding teams of the new TTA championship where it participated with four cars.
Team manager Dick Jönsson Wigroth began his career in motorsports as a junior mechanic with Greger Petersson and quickly became one the young experts in Swedish racing. At the end of the 1980s he headed abroad and worked as a mechanic in Europe, the USA and New Zealand. This provided him with experience which became very valuable upon his return to Sweden in 1994 where he founded his company WestCoast Racing which quickly became one of the top teams in Swedish motorsports.
A partnership with BMW was formed early on and this collaboration still exists today. As a BMW Dealer Team WestCoast Racing has secured a total of five victories in the Swedish Touring Car Championship. In addition the team won the European Touring Car Championship in 2005 as well as the FIA Sports car Championship in 2001.
Two teams’ championships WestCoast Racing laid claim to the title of most successful STCC team. And the medals kept coming with Martin Öhlin delivering his best result in the Carrera Cup finishing third in the championship after his move to WestCoast Racing.
Over 20 years in Swedish as well as international motorsports has given WestCoast Racing the experience necessary to produce a winning team and stay at the top. The proof of this can be found in the team’s results.
