The venue also serves the National Driving Teacher School and is used for testing by SINTEF and Q-Free. At an international level the venue is used for rallycross races. Lånkebanen has featured a round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship since 2011. It has since the inauguration of the FIA World Rallycross Championship in 2014 hosted World RX of Norway.
Lånkebanen was devised during the 1980s. At the time there were no road racing circuits in the vicinity of Trondheim. Lånkebanen would be situated close to the National Driving Teacher School and SINTEF. The former allowed for the track to be used for their teacher training, while the latter was to use the track for research. The circuit was also devised to be used for racing.
