#CircuitZandvoort

Circuit Zandvoort, situated in the coastal dunes of Zandvoort in the Netherlands, is a historic motorsport venue that has played a significant role in international racing since the mid-20th century. The origins of racing in Zandvoort date back to June 3, 1939, when an international competition was held on a temporary street circuit through the town. The success of that event led to plans for a permanent circuit, although World War II delayed construction. After the war, the track was built using existing communication roads laid by the German army, with design input from 1927 Le Mans winner Sammy Davis. The permanent circuit officially opened on August 7, 1948, hosting the "Prijs van Zandvoort," won by Prince Bira of Siam. In 1950, the race was renamed the "Grote Prijs van Nederland" (Dutch Grand Prix) and joined the Formula One World Championship calendar in 1952. The circuit remained a regular fixture until 1985, known for its fast and sweeping corners, including the famous Tarzanbocht. After a long hiatus, Formula One returned to Zandvoort in 2021, with Max Verstappen winning the first race of the modern era. The Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled to remain on the calendar until at least 2026. In addition to Formula One, Circuit Zandvoort has hosted a variety of prestigious series, including Formula 2, Formula 3, DTM, and the Masters of Formula 3. Its location amidst the dunes and technically demanding layout continue to make it a favorite among drivers and fans worldwide.
