Keimola Motor Stadium 1967 1.12

Old currently demolished permament road circuit in Vantaa, Finland. It's a 3.300km long track with 8 corners.

Situated in Vantaa, Finland. This track was made after the tragic crash and clousure of the Eläintarharata track in 1963.
Construction started in 1965 track was opened on 12 June 1966. The track was 3.3 km (2.1 mi) long, consisting of eight turns and a 1 km (0.62 mi) home straight. Multiple racing series, including Formula Two, Formula Vee and Interserie, raced on the track during the years it was used.
After many years of financial difficulties, the track was abandoned in late 1978. Illegally raced afterwards the tracksurface was destroyed by the owner in 1988 after a moose accident on 10 May 1988. Deep ditches were then cut through the track at five locations.
These were quickly filled with sand by moonlight racers, but the owner of the track area soon learned about this and destroyed the surface of the track with a plough in early 1989. This ended the racing for good.
The track has been unsuitable for driving for many years, but some structures are left standing, such as the control tower next to the back straight and a television camera tower near turn seven. The control tower was badly damaged in a fire in 2004 and its door is sealed shut with concrete.

Currently the trackarea is a residental area and the control tower was left as a memorial for the circuit.
