The story
One corner at Rudskogen is simply called Angsten, “the fear.” At the end of a long straight the road crests a rise and plunges down the steepest hill on the circuit, often too fast, into a long U-turn at the bottom. Norway’s foremost asphalt racetrack runs just over 3.2 km (2 miles) clockwise through fourteen turns in the forests of Østfold, with more than 40 meters (130 ft) of elevation change.
Norway came late to circuit racing: for decades, much of its motorsport was rallying and racing on frozen lakes. Rudskogen opened in May 1990, and its southerly position gives it a season that can run eight weeks longer than at other Norwegian circuits. It even had its own railway station, for shuttle trains from a distant car park; no scheduled train ever stopped there, and it was only used that first year. In 2011 and 2012 the circuit was rebuilt and pushed into the forest to the south, growing from about 1.9 km and ten turns to today’s layout.
Spectators now cross the track to the hill above Angsten and Slakter'n on a 134-meter (440 ft) footbridge that until 2013 linked Oslo’s central station with the Opera House. Slakter'n, “the butcher,” is another U, twisted and much tighter. Even the lap record printed on the poster tells a story: it belongs not to a car but to a superkart.
The poster numbers all fourteen turns and letters in Angsten and Slakter'n, with the pit lane in a muted line. Heritage, the racing-green edition, suits a circuit that cut its way into a Norwegian forest. Since 2022 it has come included with one of the biggest online racing simulators, so you may already have met the fear without leaving home.
