I searched for this track but couldn't find a thread or even any mention of it.

I live two hours away and have been there three or four times watching various
touring car races, 600cc and 1000cc motorcycle races, Porsche and Camaro Cup races
and some dragracing. I can understand the reason for it's absence in this suggestion forum,
not many people know about the track but it has a lot of history.

Imagine my surprise when Codemasters included Mantorp in their 2002 game TOCA Race Driver;

The game was released in August 2002 and I remember playing it a lot on the PS2.
I had just been to Mantorp for the first time in 2001 so it made
it even more special to see it in a popular video game only a few
months afterwards.
