In June 2020, an extraordinary World Motor Sport Council added an event in Kouvola (Finland) to replace the World RX of France as it was cancelled, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The event was a double-header[2]
Track has also functioned as a competition of the Finnish rallycross championship series and RallyX.
In September 2024, it was announced that Kymiring will host World RX of Finland races for three years starting from 2025.[3]
