Helsinki
Could anyone tell me if the Helsinki road course used in the ITC in 1996 and the FIA GT Championship in 1997 is still theoretically usable? Also, does anyone know what kind of attendance figures they got?

The only information I could find on Helsinki is this but I doubt it's much help.

Answering my own question... http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/helsinki.html this is a useful link. Apparently 120,000 people showed up for the ITC races in 1996.

Problem I seem to remember was almost no crowd for the F3000/GT meet!

Curious, to drop from 120,000 in 1996 to "almost no crowd" in 1997, esecially when one of the leading drivers was one JJ Lehto, who went on to win the 1997 GT race!

Poorly promoted, as F3000 usually is.
