The KymiRing is a motor racing circuit in Kausala of the Iitti municipality, Päijänne Tavastia, Finland, bordering the Kymenlaakso's regional capital Kouvola, and located 110-kilometre (68 mi) north-east of the capital Helsinki. It was planned that it would be the first circuit in Finland to hold an FIA Grade 1 license. While the circuit itself was built to meet both Formula 1 and MotoGP specifications, hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix would require substantial investment in both the track's facilities and in race hosting fees.[2]
The track was officially opened on 19 August 2019 with a small MotoGP test.[3] In July 2022, the developer was reported as being in administration.
The name "Kymi" comes from the Kymi River (Kymijoki), in the valley of which the race track is located.
