Swedish Grand Prix

The Swedish Grand Prix was a round of the Formula One World Championship from 1973 to 1978. It took place at the Scandinavian Raceway in Anderstorp (Gislaved Municipality), about 30km from Jnkping, in Småland, Sweden. In the first Swedish Grand Prix, local hero Ronnie Peterson came close to winning the race for Lotus, but suffered a puncture on the last lap to allow New Zealander Denny Hulme through to win. That was as close as any Swede came to winning on home soil, and the deaths in 1978 of both Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson contributed to the demise of this round of the world championship.
