GotlandRing - the most sustainable race circuit in the world
Introducing GotlandRing: The Epitome of Sustainability in Motorsports
Welcome to GotlandRing, the world’s first and most sustainable race and test track located on the picturesque island of Gotland, an ecoregion in Sweden. At GotlandRing, we have taken sustainability to new heights, ensuring that every aspect of our operations aligns with our commitment to the environment and the future of mobility and decarbonized transport.
One of our key achievements is the minimal environmental impact during construction. Situated in a former limestone quarry, we have sourced critical stone material locally, reducing transportation emissions. Furthermore, the construction process has been executed using zero-emission machinery, minimizing our carbon footprint.
Our dedication to sustainability extends to our building structures, which are predominantly made of recycled materials, accounting for approximately 70% of the materials used. Additionally, all safety zones and barriers are crafted from residual and recycled materials, further reducing waste and promoting circularity.
Energy consumption is a significant consideration at GotlandRing, and we are proud to announce that all our electricity is sourced from 100% sustainable energy, primarily wind, and soon solar power. This commitment to renewable energy ensures that our operations are not only environmentally friendly but also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
GotlandRing provides 400 kW ultra-fast superchargers and e-fuels for decarbonizing even the track activities.
In line with our sustainability goals, all maintenance machinery at GotlandRing runs on 100% sustainable energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. This commitment extends to our dedication to e-mobility, autonomous, self-driving, and connected vehicle technology. At GotlandRing, we provide an environment that enables mission-specific vehicle demonstrations and tests, fostering innovation and the development of sustainable transportation solutions.
Biodiversity is a core focus at GotlandRing, and we actively maintain the area to optimize the biotope for both flora and fauna. By seasonally managing the landscape, we create an enabling environment for increased biodiversity, promoting a harmonious coexistence with nature.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the track. GotlandRing is a strategic partner of the World Ecological Forum, and together, we have initiated the groundbreaking SmartRoad Gotland project. This pre-commercial knowledge-based procurement focuses on dynamic charging, allowing vehicles to be charged in motion, and revolutionizing the future of transportation. We are proud to be at the forefront of this pioneering project, the first of its kind in the world.
GotlandRing is not just a race and test track; it is a hub for zero- and low-emission vehicles. We provide a platform for testing and launching new models, supporting the transition towards a greener future. Additionally, we offer safety and eco-driving events and driver training in an engaging edutainment format, derived from our racing expertise, catering to both businesses and consumers.
As a testament to our commitment to sustainability, GotlandRing is the proud host of the world’s first electric motorcycle world championship. This groundbreaking event showcases the potential of electric vehicles and highlights our dedication to promoting sustainable mobility.
We are more than just a race and test track; we are a consultancy and development partner for intelligent macro and micro-mobility solutions and traffic systems. Our expertise extends to providing educational support for awareness campaigns and sustainable development, ensuring that the benefits of sustainability reach far beyond our track.
At GotlandRing, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. We implement self-imposed environmental and safety norms and standards that exceed the requirements set by the European Union for public roads. Our commitment to excellence ensures that our operations are not only sustainable but also prioritize the safety and well-being of our visitors.
Join us at GotlandRing, where sustainability and motorsports converge. Experience the future of mobility in a setting that embraces innovation, promotes environmental stewardship, and sets new standards for sustainability in the industry. Together, let’s drive towards a greener, more sustainable future.
Racing – for skills and thrills
Racing provides entertainment and a valuable testbed for the vehicle industry. From racing, one can also derive edutainment events, driver training for all levels, driving techniques for both Safety and Eco-Driving. Did you know that most safety features through history come from motorsports?
Racing/SportsCar Experience, Business GP, Grand Prix Coaching, Safety & Eco Driving, and GR Racing Academy are some of the edutainment driver development concepts provided by GotlandRing.
The world's longest (7.3 km) race & test circuit with modern standard
Most of the track activities are focused on the OEMs and other b2b activities. However, approximately once a year, GotlandRing hosts some racing. Over its 20 year existence, everything from endurance to sprint races to time-attacks and rally sprints have been organised at GotlandRing.
The 3.2 km northern loop has fully FIA-graded barriers, while the 4.1 km Southern Loop is partly equipped with an innovative sustainable barrier consisting of a residual material from the limestone quarry next door. This creates a unique moonlike look and effective sound barriers as well. GotlandRing functions as a premium event and test venue for the vehicle industry. Also, numerous clubs pay regular visits to the track. Official racing is not the priority for the facility. However, its modern safety standard offers wide opportunities for potential race organisers. Queries are welcomed.
