Hi Rob,

VST - ought to be Västerås Airport. Västerås is 115km west of Stockholm.
NYO - ought to be Nyköping (Skavsta) Airport. Nyköping is 100km south of Stockholm.

These are rather small airports, and not all international airlines has them as a destination point, if any I would say. The major airport for Stockholm area is ARN (Stockholm - Arlanda Airport). ARN is situated 41km north of Stockholm. Highspeed train (ArlandaExpress) takes 20min to get you to Stockholm City/Central Station.

If you plan to stay in Stockholm for some other sightseeing (apart from BugRun Meet) I'd say Arlanda is the airport to choose (VST and NYO do however cater some of the low-price airlines such as RyanAir). But it is about an hour drive to get to these airports from Stockholm.

Mantorp is 230km south of Stockholm. (In that respect Nyköping is closer by...). Drive is highway standard, on the E4. Max speed limit 110km/h (70mph). speeding by 140km/h and caught by the Police will see you loose your license at least for a Swedish citizen... Cool and set you back 4000SEK ($600). Undecided

Mantorp Raceway is just off the highway E4, to the right coming from Stockholm. Grin

Welcome to Sweden!
