Nice circuit, had a nice day. Pit boxes were beautiful. Only the toilets in it were a bit dirty, there is no possibility that F1 will ever go well and the staff on our day (so can also be due to the organization) were not extremely friendly and pleasant

Supercar Sunday. Beautiful cars, but what a bad organization. Pay in advance for parking and then be sent to a free place, because full. How can it be full? I bought a place anyway! Poor access control, even without tickets you could enter. Far too few places where you could order food and drinks.

The race track in Zandvoort can be visited on foot if necessary. You can go behind the pit lane and onto the roof terrace of the pit lane. A must for racing fans when visiting Sandvoort.

We went to see the DTM there on Sunday. I have to say that it is worth going there and watching the race. However, you should book the fan package to get to the paddock. Unfortunately we didn't see that on the DTM website as it is a bit confusing.

Really nice track with a lot of heritage. Go here a lot as close to Amsterdam. Some excellent viewing spots; centre of first corner, last corner, and top of the circuit where the fences are low. Getting to the top of the spectator banking in places is hard sometimes as it's sand, could do with putting some steps in. Generally the place looks out of date, when you compare it to somewhere like brands hatch. But I still loving going here.

It had been a long time since we were here, but the atmosphere is great. Now we were there with the Jumbo racing days. Well organized. It feels like a preparation for the Formula 1 of 2020. We are ready for a few more adjustments for the circuit and Zandvoort the infrastructure will also be fine. Go to the MAX. I would say.

May take beautiful pictures of a piece of Dutch glory. Good to see that several parties are committed to bringing the 2020 Grand Prix to the Netherlands. It is a shame that the tickets cannot be paid for and thanks to the sponsors they can still get a few tickets for the qualifying session on Saturday!

Having searched for Zandvoort circuit on Google maps Google has decided that I am a fit person to provide a review of the place. Well...probably unknown to them I did actually attend the last GP there in 1985. It was a nightmare 24 hour journey by coach from Victoria coach station in London. I was so knackered I think I dozed off in the race. Can't even remember who won! What I do remember is that Zandvoort is right on the coast and on that day was very windy and very sandy, with sand blowing about the track all the time. Hopefully the weather will be better for the future GPs. I will however be watching on TV until I'm better convinced the circuit hasn't just been revived to cash in off of the fantastic Dutch GP fans. Fingers crossed.

My experience is based on the days when there are no big events but just free motorbike riding for specific groups (MSL - The race academy). in that case enough parking spaces, well arranged and plenty of space to get everywhere and to click.

You can then quietly get food from the more expensive tent, toilets are simply accessible and enough places to view the track and you can also go anywhere, think of the pit boxes.

If you have a motorcycle or a moped I recommend taking it to the track, on event days there is no getting through in Zandvoort. You can save a motorcycle, moped or bicycle in this case.

The Connexxion bus also has its own lane, make sure you park outside the city and then take the bus to the circuit. saves you a lot of traffic.

As in the old days.

Nice weather and all access roads are stuck.

The jumbo racing days were organized nicely, just a pity that the grandstand and paddock are not freely accessible, the majority of people miss the spectacle and only they can follow everything through a screen.

Dusty sandbox. No comfort for visitors. Many billboards obstruct views. Catering affordable for food but not for drinks. Far too few parking places. Parking in Bloemendaal / 2 km walk costs more than 20 per day. Preference for circuit Spa.

A race track that nestles in the middle of the dune landscape. If you don't hear the engine noises, you could almost think you are in the middle of a nature reserve.
What I particularly like about this racetrack are the many natural stands and the extensive area. Even if there are no "official race weekends" there is always something going on and you always have something to admire.
When you've had enough of the engine noise, the beach is not far for relaxation - about 5 minutes on foot.
A race track not only for racing enthusiasts, but for the whole family.

The first plans for a circuit in Zandvoort date back to 1930. It took until 3 June 1939 when the first car race was driven on a street circuit in Zandvoort. This race included the Van Lennepweg, which is now one of the most important supply routes to the current circuit.

Although the Second World War broke out, the great success of those races led the mayor of Zandvoort to develop plans for a circuit. The story goes that the mayor of Zandvoort, in an attempt to obtain a forced labor exemption for the people of Zandvoort, concluded an agreement with the German occupier. The Germans were allowed to construct a wide, straight road straight through Zandvoort that could serve as a path after the war. This road was later used by some German roads to reach the coastal defenses along with some other roads. After the war, some of these roads were widened and merged. A racing circuit was developed with the advice of Sammy Davis, winner of the 24-hour Le Mans race from 1927.

On August 7, 1948, the first car race, then still under the name Grand Prix van Zandvoort, took place on the circuit of Zandvoort. The race was won by the Thai prince Bira in an old Maserati. Second and third were the British drivers Tony Rolt and Reg Parnell. In the following year the race was driven according to the rules of Formula 1. This race was won by Luigi Villoresi in an Alfa Romeo.

On August 28, 1948, the first motorcycle race was held on the circuit. In the following year, Luigi Villoresi won the car race in an Alfa Romeo.

From 1950 the Grand Prix was officially called the Grand Prix of the Netherlands (Dutch Grand Prix). But it would take until 1952 for the Grand Prix of the Netherlands to be part of the official Formula 1 World Championship. Almost every year until the mid-1980s, the Grand Prix of the Netherlands would be part of Formula 1.
