Race Tracks in Finland
Finland's motorsport map is compact but capable, led by Alastaro Circuit in the southwest, the country's longest permanent road course at 4.317 km, and the rebuilt Kymi Ring near Kausala, designed to MotoGP specification and now hosting FIA World Rallycross and MXGP rounds under new Hungarian ownership. Ahvenisto in Hämeenlinna, one of Finland's oldest circuits, anchors national touring car and rallycross racing, while Botniaring in Ostrobothnia and Kemora Circuit round out the country's permanent road-course roster. Finland's real motorsport strength, though, is on dirt and ice: the country is a rally powerhouse, and its motocross and speedway scenes are dense, with venues at Seinäjoki, Kotka and Pori hosting speedway, and sand or forest motocross tracks scattered from Hyvinkää to Virtasalmi. Karting clubs run sealed circuits alongside several of the bigger venues. A handful of historic venues have closed, most notably Keimola near Helsinki, a 1960s purpose-built circuit that hosted international racing until it shut in 1978, and the Eläintarhanajot street races run through central Helsinki's Eläintarha park from 1932 to 1963.
14 venues listed across 5 categories. Venues with a full RaceTrackWorld guide are linked.
