About Eurocircuit Valkenswaard
Overview
The Eurocircuit lies near Valkenswaard in the province of North Brabant, in the south of the Netherlands, and is one of the oldest rallycross venues in the world. It opened in 1971 and is often described as the first circuit built specifically for rallycross; the Nederlandse Rallycross Vereniging (NRV), which built it, calls it the first permanent rallycross circuit on the European mainland. The NRV, which depends on volunteers, organises the meetings, which include rounds of the Dutch rallycross championship and of Belgian and other foreign series. The circuit has also staged the pre-prologue of the Dakar Rally for Dutch television.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The lap mixes asphalt and loose sections, roughly 60% asphalt and 40% loam and gravel, and the track is between 10 m and 16 m wide. A long start straight leads into the first corner, named after the driver Per Eklund, and the asphalt offers little grip. The course has six bends and a chicane that comes into use from the second lap. A joker section was added in 2011, and every driver has to take it once in each heat. The dirt sections were completely rebuilt in 2022.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The venue has a paddock with pits, a race tower, a press centre, a medical centre, a weighbridge for scrutineering, showers and a restaurant. On race weekends a camping area and a VIP area are added. A typical meeting starts with free practice, followed by heats that set the grid for the finals, which decide the championship points.
History
The circuit was established by the NRV and held its first race on 17 April 1971. Early meetings were broadcast on Dutch television by AVRO until 1980, and later by TROS, which also showed a series of caravan races between 1981 and 1986. Valkenswaard hosted unofficial European championship rounds from 1973, when John Taylor won the first of them, and was part of the first FIA-sanctioned European Rallycross Championship in 1976. It held the Dutch round of the European championship until 2012. Since then British Rallycross classes have visited, in 2023, and the RallyX series has also raced there. Jacobus "Sjaak" Noordermeer led the circuit for about three decades; he was made a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 2016 and died on 12 February 2017.
