About Zandvoort
Overview
Circuit Zandvoort lies in the dunes just north of the seaside town of Zandvoort in North Holland, close to the North Sea and about 30 km west of Amsterdam. Zandvoort aan Zee railway station is a short walk away, and buses run from the centre of Amsterdam. The venue, which has carried several sponsors' names, holds about 105,000 spectators. It hosts DTM, GT World Challenge Europe, ADAC GT Masters, the Formula Regional European Championship and the Historic Grand Prix Zandvoort, and between 2021 and 2026 it staged the Formula One Dutch Grand Prix.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The Grand Prix layout introduced in 2020 measures 4,259 m with 14 corners, and the dunes give it an elevation difference of about 9 m. The lap opens with the Tarzan hairpin at the end of the main straight, followed by Gerlach and the Hugenholtz bend, banked at 19 degrees. The track then climbs over the Hunserug and runs through the fast, blind Scheivlak before the Masters corner and the Hans Ernst chicane. The final Arie Luyendyk corner is banked at 18 degrees so that it can be taken at full throttle, with a SAFER barrier on its outside wall. Wind regularly blows sand onto the asphalt, which changes the grip from session to session. A short eastern loop can be run on its own, and the previous Grand Prix layout of 4,307 m was used from 1999 to 2019.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The pit buildings were renewed in 1998, and a grandstand runs along the main straight. For Formula One's return the circuit was reworked under the design of Jarno Zaffelli and the company Dromo, which aimed to keep its character: the start and finish line was moved towards Tarzan so the grid can be seen from the main grandstand, several corners were widened and the two banked bends were built. The Zandvoort municipality invested about 4 million euros in infrastructure around the circuit. Besides racing, the track hosts a running event each March and an annual electric vehicle show.
History
After a street race in 1939, the mayor of Zandvoort planned a permanent circuit. During the German occupation a road was built that later became the main straight, and Sammy Davis, the 1927 Le Mans winner, advised on the layout. The circuit opened on 7 August 1948, and John Hugenholtz became its first director in 1949. The Dutch Grand Prix counted for the World Championship between 1952 and 1985, although not every year. Piers Courage was killed in 1970 and Roger Williamson in 1973, after which safety was improved. Running costs and debts ended Formula One after 1985, and the circuit went bankrupt in 1987. Land nearest the town was sold for holiday homes and a golf course, and from 1989 a short club circuit with earth banks against noise was used, which became the home of the Masters of Formula 3 in the early 1990s. The longer layout returned in 1999, and noise rulings sent the Masters to Zolder in 2007 and 2008. Formula One came back in September 2021, when Max Verstappen won from pole.
