Botniaring Long w/ chicane
Botniaring Long w/ chicane Anmerkungen:
The Botniaring is a permanent racing circuit located in Southern Ostrobothnia, Jurva, Finland. The circuit was opened in 1989 and is viewed as one of Scandinavia's newer venues. The track originally featured a short 2.618 km course with a unique oval layout - the only one in Scandinavia at the time, though it was not used very actively. Club and Oval layouts were both introduced when the circuit first opened.
Following a recent extension, Botniaring transformed from a relatively short and twisty circuit into what was Finland's longest and fastest raceway until the advent of KymiRing. The full track now measures 4.014 km and features a high-speed chicane, which is one of a kind in Finland. The circuit hosts motorsport from April to October but remains open throughout autumn and winter for driving training, including on ice and snow. It hosts main Finnish road racing competitions including the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, Nordic racing, and a 12-hour night endurance race. Operations have been run by Lintuharju Motorsport Area Ltd since 2014.
