In July 2017, Kymi Ring and
Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holder of MotoGP, signed a five-year contract for organising the
Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix. It would be the first time motorcycle racing's premier class would race in the country since
1981. The event was initially supposed to be on the 2020 MotoGP calendar but was cancelled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. It was also on the 2021 MotoGP calendar but was later postponed to 2022. Concerns over the circuit were discussed by riders at a Safety Commission meeting at Le Mans. On 25 May 2022, it was announced that the event would once again be removed from the
2022 World Championship season, due to incomplete homologation works together with the risks caused by the ongoing geopolitical situation in the region by the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ongoing financial troubles and incomplete construction resulted in the
FIM Motocross World Championship and
Nitro Rallycross cancelling their August 2022 races at the track. The former moved the event to
Hyvinkää, while the latter opted not to replace the date with a different location. In September 2024, it was announced that the circuit will host
FIA World Rallycross Championship races for three years starting from
2025. In July
2025,
MXGP competition was organized in Kymiring. ==References==
