Track map and layout
Falkenbergs Motorbana is a compact, fast circuit at Bergagård just outside the seaside town of Falkenberg on Sweden's west coast. Built in 1967 to replace the earlier Skreabanan, it ran as a 9-turn layout for over three decades before a chicane was added at the end of the pit straight in 2004, slowing the entry to what had been a very fast first corner and bringing the lap to its current 1.843 km, 11-turn configuration. The track runs clockwise and is known among Scandinavian touring car drivers as a quick, flowing circuit with few real braking zones, rewarding momentum and slipstreaming over outright braking performance. A separate karting track of about 550 metres sits alongside the main circuit.

History of Falkenbergs Motorbana
Built to replace Skreabanan
Falkenbergs Motorbana was built at Bergagård on the outskirts of Falkenberg, breaking ground in April 1967 and opening that August as a replacement for the town's earlier circuit, Skreabanan. From the outset it was laid out as a short, fast, flowing 9-turn circuit of around 1.83 km, quickly becoming a fixture of Swedish national motorsport thanks to its accessible location on the west coast between Gothenburg and Malmö.
A fast circuit gets a safety upgrade
By the early 2000s the original first corner, taken at very high speed straight off the pit straight, was seen as increasingly risky for modern touring cars and single-seaters. In 2004 the club added a chicane just before that corner, slowing entry speeds and bringing the lap to its current 1.843 km, 11-turn configuration, a change that has defined the circuit ever since without altering its essential character as a quick, momentum-based track.
Home of Scandinavian touring cars
Falkenbergs Motorbana became one of the anchor venues of the Scandinavian and Swedish Touring Car Championship, hosting rounds in almost every season from 1996 to 2019, and has also supported Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia, TCR Denmark and the Nordic 4 Championship. Its flowing layout, with few heavy braking zones, has made it a favourite for close, slipstreaming battles among touring car and single-seater drivers.
A working club circuit today
Owned and operated by Falkenbergs Motorklubb as a member-run, non-profit association, the circuit remains an active club venue, running test nights, race meetings and multi-hour endurance karting events on its separate kart track through the season. Investment in light-signal and camera systems in 2018-2019 has kept the facility current for modern racing and driver-training use.
