Jyllands-Ringen
FDM Jyllands-Ringen is a motor racing track in Resenbro, Denmark, near Silkeborg. In 2003, the course was enlarged from 1.475 km (0.917 mi) to 2.300 km (1.429 mi) by connecting it to an adjacent oval circuit. The Danish Touring Car Championship held regular events at Jyllands-Ringen. It held several annual rounds of the Danish Thundersport Championship from 2014 to 2019. It has held many annual editions of the TCR Denmark Touring Car Series since 2020.
The Danish Grand Prix was held here in 1968, 1969, and 1970, with races for Sports Prototypes and Sports GT cars. Barrie Smith won the Danish Grand Prix in both 1968 and 1969 in a Chevron B8 Ford. In 1968, it was a Ford twin-cam engine car, and in 1969, it was a Cosworth FVA engine car.
In 2003, the Minister of Culture Brian Mikkelsen cut the ribbon to officially inaugurate Denmark's longest circuit. The track was ready for racing after numerous laps as a passenger in a Ferrari F50 driven by Jan Magnussen. This was the start of a golden era for Danish touring car racing, as the track hosted a DTC that was gaining international traction. Along with the local stars, drivers such as Jens Edman, Markko Martin, and James Thompson added to the excitement. The Danish Touring Car Championship joined with the Swedish Touring Car Championship in 2010 to become the Scandinavian Touring Car Cup, bringing a large grid of S2000 tourers to the Jyllandsringen. Unfortunately, the championship has been exclusively focused on Sweden since 2013, therefore the void in the Danish racing scene was filled by a new DTC - the Danish Thundersport Championship for American-style sportscars. The Jyllandsringen, a fan favorite, is once again at the center of the action, hosting many championship rounds.
