Prince Carl Philips Racing Cup is a prize that was instituted by the prince himself in 2013 and aims to support Swedish youth motor sports.

Moves from Östergötland

The competition was decided in previous years in Lidköping, but now the organizers were ready for a change and the choice fell on Eskilstuna. Not least for the proximity to Stockholm.

- It feels great to be here in Eskilstuna, this is a small crunch we have been on, says Prince Carl Philip.

Young positive

During Wednesday's press conference, young talents were invited and they look forward to the competition coming to Eskilstuna.

- I think it's good because then more people are attracted here and it will be a good development for the plant, says caretaker Alice Lindell.

The prince is driving

The competition will be held between August 28 and 30 next year - and it looks like the prince himself will run.
