At the same time the celebration is being organized for the sixth year in a row the Mantorp Classic Festival where classic cars are the focus.

The weekend will offer exhibitions and parades with classic sports cars, as well as performances with several well-known drivers - including Formula 1 driver Reine Wisell from Motala.

- Yes, I've been driving here a lot, but it's been a long time now. It's great to come back here.

Michaela Månlycke is one of all the drivers who will show up on the track this weekend. On Friday she tested a Formula 2 car for the first time. This weekend she will be driving racing star Alex Ribeiro's classic F2 car from the 70s under the name "Jesus Saves".

How was it?

- It was incredibly funny! It tickled my stomach.
