Zandvoort Circuit
The Zandvoort track measures 4.259 kilometres and the fact that it is almost on the beach brings with it the difficulty of wind generally blowing quite a bit of sand across its surface. The circuit climbs and drops significantly and several sections are crowd favourites.

FAMOUS CORNERS
Definitely worth a mention is Tarzan corner, or Tarzanbocht in the local language, a sharp right hairpin at the end of the start-finish straight, which is slightly banked. It is famous for an amazing overtaking move when Gilles Villeneuve went round the outside of Alan Jones in the 1979 Dutch Grand Prix. Other classic turns include the Rob Slotemakerbocht and the fast and blind right-hander, Scheivlak.

BANKING
For its return to the calendar last season, the Zandvoort track has been modified and made more spectacular at a couple of points in particular: turn 3 and the last one, turn 14, now boast a 19 degree banking, which allowed the drivers to go through them at much higher speeds. The narrowness of the track and its twisty nature means that overtaking is not at all easy to perform and a medium to high downforce set up is needed here. Given the layout, qualifying will have a significant importance. For Zandvoort’s return to the calendar a special high grip surface was produced by Shell last year. Its excellent characteristics have led to it instantly being referred to as “Flying Dutchman,” a nickname applied to every particularly brilliant driver from these parts. Last year there were two DRS zones, between turns 10 and 11 and on the main straight.
