Jyllandsringen (translation – ‘the Ring of Jutland’) is the most important circuit in Denmark, which opened in 1966.

The original circuit, built by contractor S.K. Jensen in an old gravel pit, was a mere 1.7 km in length, featuring little in the way of long straights. This was only partially rectified a year after opening, with a new link creating a back straight.

In 1974, the circuit was sold to FDM (the Federation of Danish Motorists) after the death of founder Jensen in 1972, resulting in driver training being held at the venue.

A new driver training centre opened to the south-east of the circuit in 1990 – but it remained entirely separate until 2003 when, thanks to the rise in popularity of touring car racing through the DTC (Danish Touring Car Championship), the two circuits were linked.

This extended the circuit length to 2.3 km, now making it the longest in the country, and the layout has remained unchanged for the past 20 years.
