The circuit has existed in two versions, and has been exclusively used for the "Imatranajo [fi]" motorcycle road race.

From 1962 to 1978 a 6.030 km (3.747 mi) clockwise street circuit in the east of the town of Imatra was used.

This was only 4.950 km (3.076 mi) long and consisted mostly of the western part of the original circuit.

From the 1983 season the "Imatranajo" lost its World Championship status due to the dangerous nature of the circuit and the death of sidecar driver Jock Taylor in 1982.

[3] In the "Imatranajo" on June 15, 2019, a fatal crash occurred when a Swiss driver Mathias Gnägi with a Superbike class dropped off the track in the rain and was killed.
