The Scandinavian Festival of Speed will be held at Drivecenter Arena in Fällfors on 13–16 July. A car festival packed with track racing, drifting, show cars, live concerts, good food and cold drinks.

For almost 20 years, Sommertreff was the largest car festival in northern Norway and the highlight for all car enthusiasts in the region. As the festival increased in size, the condition of the track deteriorated sharply and the site also became too small to accommodate all the spectators.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Sommertreff and Drivecenter Arena launched a joint investment aimed at relocating the car festival to Fällfors, Sweden, at the fantastic Drivecenter Arena. After a sneak premiere including three days of track driving in 2022, the festival is now being launched as a full-scale concept.

“It feels great to have arranged this, and we are now working intensively to create a memorable festival weekend for both participants and spectators. Bring your own car or just enjoy the show,” says Stian Tjosaas, owner of Sommertreff and event general for the Scandinavian Festival of Speed.

For the spectators, we promise a wide range of different show cars and racing cars. The Scandinavian Festival of Speed will host track racing in street cars and racing cars, a large car exhibition and various other events, including selecting the fastest street car.

“We are delighted to be further developing our cross-border collaboration, and are looking forward to the summer with great anticipation. This is a popular event that welcomes everyone, with entertainment both on and off the track,” says Jessica Karlsson, Marketing Manager at Drivecenter Arena.

 

More about the festival
The Scandinavian Festival of Speed endeavours to be the best motoring-based festival in northern Scandinavia. Just over 20 years ago, a group of friends hired a race track in northern Norway with the aim of racing their own cars and practising their driving skills. In the months and years that followed, this group of friends evolved into hundreds of cars and thousands of spectators, and the company Sommertreff was founded. For almost 20 years, Sommertreff was the largest car festival in northern Norway and the highlight for all car enthusiasts in the region. During the Covid-19 period, Sommertreff and Drivecenter Arena launched a joint investment aimed at relocating the car festival under a new name to Drivecenter Arena in Fällfors, Sweden.
