Ring Djursland is a motor racing circuit in Pederstrup, Denmark. The circuit is owned by AMU Djursland, who run daily driving courses there.[1] It also hosts rounds of the Danish Touringcar Championship.

Ring Djursland first opened in 1965, but was altered a year later to its current layout. In 1983 it was bought by the Danish state, who renovated the track to use it as an educational centre with advanced driving courses for lorry drivers. After losing its environmental permit in the late 1980s, it reopened for racing in 1994.[2] A relatively short circuit at 1.094 miles, it is known for its tight and hilly circuit layout.
