Lånkebanen is a road racing circuit situated just east of the village of Hell in the Lånke area of Stjørdal Municipality, Norway.

The venue also features a designated hillclimbing and a motocross track on the slopes below, and a harness racing oval.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications decided that year that Lånkebanen would be the only such venue to receive investment subsidies.

The ministry was concerned that most of the plans would simply make matters worse for other neighboring venues, particularly as many new tracks would take away revenue from existing slippery road circuits.

The ministry stated that Lånkebanen would be used as a trial to gain experience from state-subsidizing and building of new tracks.

The authorities wanted this to become an obligatory part of the training, but lack of suitable venues throughout the country had made the courses optional.

By the late 2000s the Orkanger track no longer met the demands and NAF therefore considered what to do with the situation.

The venue is situated on National Road 705, 7 kilometers (4 mi) from Trondheim Airport, Værnes and Hell Station.

[1] The sole school offering driving teacher education in Norway, it has since 2004 been part of Nord-Trøndelag University College.

[5] Domestic competitions in rallycross have been conducted at Lånkebanen since 1989, with an annual Norwegian Championship round.

Lånkebanen was selected to host the World RX of Norway as part of the annual tour.
