Ring Djursland first opened in 1965, but was altered a year later to its current layout. In 1983 it was bought by the Danish state, who renovated the track to use it as an educational centre with advanced driving courses for lorry drivers. After losing its environmental permit in the late 1980s, it reopened for racing in 1994.[2] A relatively short circuit at 1.750 km (1.087 mi), it is known for its tight and hilly circuit layout.
