The Netherlands should be on the F1 calendar
door Mare1332
‘Really quick’, ‘pretty insane’, ‘crazy’ and ‘old-school’, these were the words
used by the current crop of Formula 1 (F1) drivers when asked to describe the
Zandvoort track. I would also add ‘undulating’ to that list. The Zandvoort track
creates a rollercoaster-like feel to the lap due to its swoops and flows through
the dunes. Recently the owners of F1 have made clear that for the first time
since 1985, they are interested in making a return to the Netherlands as part of
their racing calendar. Between 1952 and 1985, almost every year there was an
F1 race on the circuit of Zandvoort. After that it was quiet for a long time, but
since Max Verstappen has joined F1, more and more fans are dreaming of a
return of F1 in the Netherlands. The municipality of Zandvoort and the bosses
of the Zandvoort race circuit agree and want to bring F1 back to the
Netherlands.
History
Racing at Zandvoort takes us back to the late 1930s when motorsport aficionados
decided to organize a race in Zandvoort. In 1939 a race was held on a temporary
street circuit, but after its huge success it was decided to build a permanent facility.
On the 7th of August 1949, the first race at that circuit was held. Zandvoort had its
slot on the F1 calendar from 1952.
Around the 1970s, modifications were made to the track and new safety features
were implemented. Until now, in 1985 was the last F1 Grand Prix held on the
Zandvoort track. In 1999, the track between the dunes was extended to a full GP
length of 4,3 kilometres, which makes it the second shortest Formula 1 circuit on the
racing calendar. For the 2021 F1 Dutch Grand Prix, the circuit will be adapted at
some points due to a new layer of asphalt and the well-known curves. But its unique
character will remain unaffected.
