Hedemora TT. Swedish Grand Prix . 2 laps

The original host of the Swedish Grand Prix (for motorcycles) Hedemora is still regarded by many as the country's pre-eminent road racing course, despite active competition having ceased there in 1999. Located on rural roads to the north of the small Swedish community of Hedemora, around 175km north west of Stockholm, the circuit was fast and flowing. It was host to a popular TT race, which first began in 1933 and held one further meeting in 1934. Racing resumed with the Hedemora TT in 1949 and by the early 1950s the circuit was also attracting the attention of racers on four wheels. A non-championship Formula One race was held in 1952, albeit largely with homespun machinery and won by Eric Lundgren in a Ford Special. Porsche races were among the highlights of the Hedemoraloppet in subsequent years.
