"Helsinki International Circuit is a located on the outskirts of the Finnish capitol city of Helsinki (its not on any map however). Famous for its infamy, or lack there-of, was it, is it? It is what was? What could be is showcased by its unique design and presentation, as any great track should, or will. With its elevation changes, sweeping fast turns or the devastating accuracy needed to perfect its (in)famous Turn 8 uphill hairpin, the 5.2km International layout provides for finding a lap time only a great driver can achieve, as many great Finnish drivers have, or will you?. The double 650m back-straight of the long F1 approved layout (complete with DRS zones) combined with a 750m front straight will prove for both driver and machine. Perfect for vehicles of all types... past, present or future the shorter 3.8km National layout will ensure hours of close battles to come, or relive or however you desire to memorialize it.
As unique as its fictional status, is the location being the most northern track on the schedule. The track has no artificial lights but supports night racing during the mid-summer months and can be safely run from 4am to 11pm. The Finnish people are great hosts and provide a little humor in the placing of numerous fake palm trees along the backside straight... a little summer fun gift and big TERVETULOA to all"
