Synopsis:

The dream of bringing Formula 1 to a small village in southern Sweden. Against all odds, an entire community came together to make this vision a reality. From 1973 to 1978, Anderstorp, Småland, hosted six unforgettable Formula 1 Grands Prix, thanks to the bold ambitions of Sven ‘Smokey’ Åsberg. For Smokey, no obstacle was too great and no idea was off limits. His determination transformed what might have seemed like madness into a legendary chapter in racing history.
