Solvalla Stockholm is a temporary motorsport race track in Sweden. The circuit is located in the Bromma district west of the Swedish capital Stockholm. Rather than using the streets of the city, the track itself will use the horse racing venue, making it the first stadium circuit in Sweden.
It was announced that the venue would host the final round of the 2012 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season.[1] The championship returned to Solvalla for the next five seasons, before being dropped from the calendar for the 2018 season.[2]
