TTA – Racing Elite League was a Swedish touring car racing series started in 2012, which was founded by four of the biggest teams from the Swedish Touring Car Championship: Polestar Racing, Flash Engineering, WestCoast Racing and Brovallen Design in 2011. TTA worked with the Swedish Automobile Sports Federation and the race car was developed by the French motorsport company Solution-F. The car was a silhouette, where the chassis and powertrain are standardized and custom-built for racing, and where the body is molded from composite material to mimic a normal car.
TTA bought the Swedish Racing League and renamed it to the TTA – Elitserien i Racing (TTA – Racing Elite League). After just one season, the series merged with the STCC in 2013.
