**Drivecenter Arena**, previously known as **Skellefteå Drive Center**, is a motorsport [race track](/source/Race_track) in [Fällfors](/source/F%C3%A4llfors) ([Västerbotten County](/source/V%C3%A4sterbotten_County)), [Sweden](/source/Sweden). The circuit opened in 2019 having been converted from a retired [Swedish Air Force](/source/Swedish_Air_Force) base, [Fällfors Air Base](/source/F%C3%A4llfors_Air_Base) .

## History

Fällfors Air Base had been a modernised Swedish Air Force base with three runways and a reinforced section of adjoining highway to act as a spare runway. The base was built in the 1950s. The base operated [Saab 29 Tunnan](/source/Saab_29_Tunnan), [Saab 32 Lansen](/source/Saab_32_Lansen), [Saab 35 Draken](/source/Saab_35_Draken) and [Saab 37 Viggen](/source/Saab_37_Viggen) fighter-bombers over the years. One of its features was a [mountain hangar](/source/Mountain_hangar) built in rock in the dispersal area to the north of the runways.[1] The base closed in 2006. The base was sold off and the Skellefteå Drive Center opened in 2008 and operated as a [driver training](/source/Driver_training) and [vehicle testing](/source/Vehicle_testing) facility, with the former runways used occasionally for [drag racing](/source/Drag_racing). After an ownership change in 2017 the anticipated motor racing circuit was completed and the held their first race on 14 June 2019.[2] The circuit is 4.235 km (2.632 mi) long, the longest circuit in Sweden, approximately 210 m (690 ft) longer than [Anderstorp Raceway](/source/Anderstorp_Raceway).

At the opening Midnattsolsloppet meeting the circuit hosted both domestic and international motor racing with [TCR Scandinavia](/source/TCR_Scandinavia), [Formula Nordic](/source/Formula_Renault), both the Swedish and North European Zone championships, [Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia](/source/Porsche_Carrera_Cup_Scandinavia) and [GT4 Scandinavia](/source/GT4_Scandinavia) racing series.
