About Falkenberg
Overview
Falkenbergs Motorbana is a permanent road circuit at Bergagård in Halland, south-western Sweden, about ten kilometres east of the town of Falkenberg along county road 154, which links to the E20 between Gothenburg and Halmstad. It opened in 1967 and is owned by the members of Falkenbergs Motorklubb, a non-profit club that also runs it. Measured by average lap speed it is considered the fastest circuit in Sweden. Its main meeting is the Västkustloppet, the West Coast Races, which the Swedish Touring Car Championship has headlined in most years since 1996. The calendar also includes a historic meeting in September, the Scandinavian Open road race for motorcycles and endurance races, along with track days and test days for cars and motorcycles. Halmstad Airport is about 40 minutes' drive away.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The lap is short and built around sweeping curves. Since alterations in 2020 the official length is 1,826 m; before that, from 2004, it was 1,843 m. The track is 10 m wide. Named sections include the Chikanen, the Esset, the Högfarten and the Ginstkurvan. The chicane at the first corner, added in 2004, made the opening sequence right-left-right instead of the earlier left-right. In 2020 the apex of the first corner was moved inwards and the corner complex widened, and the section between turns 8 and 9 was also widened, which made the remeasured lap slightly shorter. The fastest competition laps on the 1,843 m layout are 41.918 seconds by Henrik Vejen in a superkart in 2012, 42.357 seconds by Jesper Westerholm in a Radical in 2012 and, on two wheels, 44.268 seconds by Jesper Pellijeff on a superbike in 2018.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The circuit has 1,200 seats for spectators, pit garages, a race control tower and a tunnel to the infield paddock, built in 2004. A light signal system and track cameras were installed in 2018-2019. The track is approved for grids of 29 saloon, GT or historic cars, 23 sports or formula cars and 31 motorcycles in competition, and for 35 cars in races of six to twelve hours. Next to the circuit the club runs a separate karting track of about 550 m, 8 m wide, used for youth karting, minimoto, rental karts and drop-in sessions.
History
Falkenbergs Motorklubb had raced on public roads at Skrea, east of the town, until 1964, when road upgrades and police pressure ended those meetings. In 1966, under its president Åke Lavéno, the club agreed to buy land at Ljungby, and construction started in April 1967. Volunteers built the track in about four months, and on 5 August 1967 more than 20,000 spectators saw Reine Wisell win the opening Formula 3 race in a Brabham. In 1973 a kink to the left was added in front of a tightened right-hander at the first corner, creating the track's first chicane. Financial strain in the 1980s led to the sale of the holding company to Vasabron AB, while the club kept running the circuit; when Vasabron went bankrupt in 1993, Falkenberg Municipality bought the track at auction, with an option for the club to buy it back, which it had done by 2001. The whole track was resurfaced around 2008. The STCC raced here every year from 1996 to 2011 and again from 2013 to 2019, with the Elitserien i Racing taking its place in 2012.
