Zandvoort is certainly not new to the Formula 1 world, having hosted a race for the first time in 1952 and having done so 29 more times before the Dutch Grand Prix was pulled from the calendar after the 1985 edition.

However, today’s track is slightly different from what pilots have raced in the past, with many changes being made before it returns.

The main factor is the introduction of tilt angles. Such banks, sloping 19 degrees twice that of the Indianapolis bank, are found at the corners of Hugenholtz Bend and Arie Luyendijk Bend, the latter being the latter in the fold.

In total, the Track of 4,252 km Features 13 turns, lots of drop-offs, and a number of high-speed sections, with each flaw potentially costly.

The chances of easy overtaking are rare and the drivers will have to take big risks if they pass in the race. Expect to see big moves.

Route to the Dutch Grand Prix

Zandvoort is a seaside resort located on the northwest coast of the Netherlands.

The nearest big city, train station and airport are Amsterdam, and it’s very easy to get there from the Dutch capital. That’s why it’s probably best to go there first if you’re traveling from another country by plane or train.

Since the two sites are only 15 miles long, it only takes 40 minutes to get from town to the trail, although the density of traffic can make the trip a bit longer on weekends.

Even without a car, reaching Zandvoort is not a problem. The train from central Amsterdam to Zandvoort aan Zee takes around half an hour, while bus 80 takes a little longer, i.e. 50 minutes if the traffic is not too bad.

Address: Circuit Park Zandvoort, Burgemeester van Alphenstraat 108, 2041 KP Zandvoort, The Netherlands.

Tire options at the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix

Considering the high-speed sections and busy corners, it’s no surprise that Pirelli brought a set of heavier tires to the Dutch Grand Prix.

Compound C1 will be hard tire, C2 will be medium, and soft compound will be C3 rubber.
