Falkenbergs Motorbana

Falkenbergs Motorbana is a motor racing circuit at Bergagård, Sweden. The circuit was opened in 1967, as a replacement for Skreabanan, and is currently owned and run by Falkenbergs Motorklubb. A chicane was added on the first corner in 2004 to improve safety on the relatively fast track. A round of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (formerly known as the Swedish Touring Car Championship) was held there from 1996 to 2019, except 2012. In addition there is a road racing event called Scandinavian Open run each year, endurance races, and a Classic motor event.
