Kolmården Motorpark
This circuit is located in the hills of Kolmården wich is just outside Norrköping, Sweden.
A guide around the circuit: After the start/finnish-line there´s a pretty fast, downhill chicane followed by a shirt straight were the track flattens out. Turn 3 is a really fast corner wich by some classes might be taken flat out. Turn 4 is just a slight kink followed by a straight wich in the middle starts to get increasingly steeper. Turn 5 is a slow, upphill hairpin wich makes you think of A1 Ring, followed. After this the track flattens out untill the multi-apex, right hander wich is slightly down hill, if you have good exit-speed from this corner there´s an overtakin opportunity in the following corner. Then there´s a hairpin with a turning brakingpoint followes by a fast "s"-section and a quite slow hairpin creating another overtaking possibility. After this comes a short straight followed by two 90-degree turns and a fast chicane leeding to the start/finnish-straight again. The start/finnish-straight is about as long as the one at Istanbul-park. |

Circuits tend to work better with the pit exit off the racing line, for that reason I'd switch the pitlane and paddock to the outside. This also leaves the option to tighten up the final corner into a last chance overtaking place.

Okey, good edit. Any thoughts on the rest of the circuit?

I'd suggest having the pits as in SBF's edit but put the grand stands on top of the pit buildings to allow the spectators a better view of the circuit.
