INTERESTING FACTS
Circuit Park Zandvoort is located in the seaside town of Zandvoort, about 30 kilometres outside of Amsterdam. It has been the centre of the Dutch racing scene and its most important circuit for four-wheeled racing since the late 1940s.
Built right at the coast of the Dutch North Sea, nestling into the sand dunes, the circuit combines race action and holiday atmosphere. But while the proximity to the beach creates a relaxed vibe for the fans, the drivers have to deal with sand being blown onto the track lowering the grip level and creating constantly changing conditions. This can especially be tricky when leaving the racing line for an overtaking manoeuvre.
Nevertheless drivers like the layout of the track. The 4.307 kilometres offer numerous fast and frequently blind corners and a challenging difference in elevation of up to 15 metres.
