Scandinavian Raceway, located in Anderstorp, Sweden, opened in 1968 and hosted six Swedish Grands Prix between 1973 and 1978. The 4.018 km layout was distinctive for sharing its main straight with the local airport runway. The 1978 event marked Niki Lauda\'s controversial win in the Brabham BT46B \"fan car\" before the design was promptly banned.
