It’s no secret we’ve got a Swede on staff here. And whenever Swedish things pop up in the automotive realm, he tends excitedly ramble on in Scandinavian and lose all focus. This would be one of those times. “Du måste titta på den hår!”, he says. Must be good, then.

What you’re looking at above is a simple trackday video made by Anders Bäckman. Except that it’s not simple at all, it’s exceedingly awesome footage of some amazing cars tearing around the Gotland Ring on the Baltic Isle of Gotland. The Gotland Ring is an ongoing project which just completed its first phase. Another loop is will soon be added, extending the track; and then hopefully another and another and so on. They want to make a massive motorsports park out of the whole thing, and we’re all for it. In the summer, you can lap there in then middle of the night – while the sun’s still up.

Make sure you check out the Porsche 996 GT3 trail-brake drifting around 1:20.
