Finland vying for place on MotoGP calendar with new circuit

MotoGP could return to Finland for the first time in over 30 years in 2017, with construction set to start on the KymiRing circuit.

Timo Pohjola, the project manager for the Kouvola-based circuit, says discussions are ongoing for the track to secure a future place on the MotoGP calendar.

“We have a good understanding with Dorna,” Pohjola told Autosport. “We are going to have a meeting in February, they are visiting in Finland once again and we will discuss the timetable.

“We are really pleased with everything they have done so far.”
