The Gotland Ring is a 4.53-mile (7.29-km) eco-friendly raceway, the first 100% sustainable racing facility in the world, paved in the middle of the Baltic Sea, in Kappelshamn, an eco-municipality of the Swedish island of Gotland. The architect in charge of the design was Alec Arho Havrén, an environmentalist racer who dreams about a future in which green technologies are the main drivers for all means of transportation. Gotland Ring serves as a racing and driver training ground to promote and accelerate the implementation of sustainable transportation technologies. The Baltic climate of Gotland is cold almost year-round, with a short warm summer period and frequent snowfall during winter.
Several layouts are available for racing, driver training, and product testing in Gotland Ring, the most important being the Full Circuit and the North Circuit. Plenty of open space, fresh air, and a challenging 42-turn racetrack trajectory full of up and downs make up a great driving experience where all the senses get involved. Pine trees and electric windmills form the landscape around the raceway, but racers need to concentrate on the hilly road to get the most out of the Gotland Ring. The impactful scenery of the venue is an ideal location for photoshoots and product launching, and the track provides a remarkable appeal from a motorsports enthusiast's point of view.
The Full Circuit of the Gotland Ring covers the total length of the raceway with all of its 42 corners. It combines a wide variety of turn types with several straightaways along the way to form a challenging yet secure racing venue. The average speed for the Full Circuit is 83 mph (133 mph), and its average lap time is 3:15.4.
