A multi-million project has been unveiled by investors with aims to bring a Danish Grand Prix to the F1 calendar
Denmark is aiming to host an F1 race with a new 6.006-kilometre race circuit in Padborg, backed by an investment of 3.8 billion Danish kroner led by Henrik Lyngbye Pedersen and Mathias Lyngbye Villadsen.
The ‘Circuit of Denmark’ project aims to transform Padborg Park into Northern Europe’s longest track, designed by Wurz Design, with seating for 100,000 spectators and additional facilities for motocross, karting, hotels, and conferences.
With the project’s strategic location near the German border and its potential to boost Danish motorsport, F1 commentator Jens Hansen sees it as a significant development comparable to major event venues in Denmark.
While there’s no official confirmation from the FIA or Formula One Management yet, the project is moving forward to meet Grade 1 standards, with plans pitched to municipal politicians in Aabenraa.
The developers, who have self-funded the early stages, are now seeking international investors to support the vision of bringing F1 to Denmark and enhancing the motorsport scene in the country.
