Scandinavian Raceway Anderstorp
Sweden >> Scandinavian Raceway Anderstorp
The Scandinavian Raceway is a 2.505 miles (4.03 km) race circuit in Anderstorp (Gislaved Municipality), Sweden.
The track was built on marshlands in 1968 and became an extremely popular venue in the 1970s, just as Swede Ronnie Peterson was at the height of his career. It had a long straight (called Flight Straight, which was also used as an aircraft runway), as well as several banked corners, making car setup an engineering compromise. Unusually, the pit lane was located halfway round the lap.
The raceway hosted six Formula One Swedish Grand Prix events in the '70s. When Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson died during the 1978 Formula One season, public support for the event dried up and the Swedish Grand Prix came to an end.
