About OuluZone
Overview
OuluZone is a multi-purpose motorsport centre at Arkala, about 34 km from the centre of Oulu in northern Finland. The area belongs to the City of Oulu and is run by the local company Ni-Ro Oy. Drivers come to use their own cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles and karts, and the fenced site is also hired out for events, from company training days to Finnish championship meetings. The public calendar lists open days for each track, with a daily fee per track or a season card covering one track or all four.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The centre has tracks for karting, rallycross, the Finnish grassroots class jokamiesluokka, motocross and snowcross, with both asphalt and gravel surfaces. The paved circuit offers 1,320 m of asphalt, used among other things for drifting, and together with gravel sections it also forms the rallycross track, which has eight marshal posts. A slippery straight of about 650 m is offered for truck and bus training, and the operator hires out rallycross start lights, timing equipment and fourteen LED marshal lights for events. The motocross track is also open to quads and, in winter, to snowmobiles.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The karting track is open to drivers of all ages and skill levels, and rental karts with equipment are available; drivers can also bring their own karts or book the whole track for a private event. Visitors have a café and restaurant, a sauna for fourteen people and a meeting room, while a training room for sixty people, a testing area and a slippery-surface practice area serve driving schools and companies. The fenced site is also used for overnight stays in motorhomes and caravans, for example at a rocket-free New Year event aimed at pet owners.
History
The centre was built with city funding of about 2.5 million euros at Kokkokangas, in the former municipality of Ylikiiminki. By January 2013 roughly seventy per cent of the work was complete, and OuluZone opened in August that year with rallycross and motocross among the first facilities and karting planned for a later phase. Jarmo Pekkala of Ni-Ro Oy has run the centre since it opened and has since been joined by Sami Leskelä, who looks after the restaurant and catering side. In June 2021 the RallyX Nordic series held a double-header here on its first visit, and the venue has since hosted Finnish championship rallycross. In June 2026 OuluZone hosted the Drifting Finnish Championship for the Pro and Pro2 classes, and a round of the Finnish rallycross championship followed in August.
