When was the track built?
Opened in 1987, it was the first motor stadium in Finland, although it had only a drag strip.
Three years later it was enlarged, when asphalt and rallycross tracks were constructed.
Now a further redevelopment, designed by me, will finally bring major motorsport events, including F1; they’re due to be completed in 2023.
When was its first Grand Prix?
It will be the first ever race on this circuit.
It will rotate with other three circuits in this country for a spot in the F1 European Series.
What’s the circuit like?
The first two sectors are fast and reaching the highest top-speed will be crucial as there are six overtaking spots in the first ten corners.
The final one is more twisty, with a very interesting snake section before the main straight; a small mistake in this tract will mean carrying much less speed into the straight, allowing following cars to have a go in turn 1.
Where is it located?
50 km north-west of Mikkeli, and around 250km from Helsinki, in the centre of Finland; the capital’s airport is surely the most important one in the area. (+ 62°03’31”, + 27°33’22”).
