The Keimola Motor Stadium (Finnish: Keimolan moottorirata, Swedish: Käinby Motorstadion) was a dedicated race track located in Vantaa, Finland.
It was founded by Finnish racing driver Curt Lincoln after the closure of the Eläintarha track in 1963.
[1] While the Finnish national motor racing association AKK was planning a new track at Tattarisuo in Helsinki, Curt Lincoln, a Finnish motorsport legend, leased a better suited place near the village of Keimola, Vantaa.
[8] The 1972 event became known as "Keimola mud festival" after a rainstorm transformed the rallycross track into a lake.
They drove a Volvo 343 equipped with a Variomatic continuously variable transmission, which meant the car could be driven at the same speed in both directions.
The control tower was badly damaged in a fire in 2004 and its door is sealed shut with concrete.
[15] The track was designed by Curt Lincoln and another Finnish race driver, Fred Geitel, using a ruler and compass.
[21] Finnish driver Leo Kinnunen from AAW Racing Team drove three full seasons between 1971–1973 and won the championship in every year, which increased interest into the series.
The track record is also held by Kinnunen who drove it in 1972 Interserie race with Porsche 917/10 TC.
[25] It was a round of the Embassy/ERA European Rallycross Championship that was won by Swede Björn Waldegård.
