Dutch Grand Prix Facts

Zandvoort made a triumphant return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2021 after a 36-year hiatus, with local hero Max Verstappen winning the Dutch Grand Prix each year since. The 2024 Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled for August 23-25.

Circuit Zandvoort is uniquely situated in the sand dunes along the North Sea coast, just east of Amsterdam. The town of Zandvoort had a history of street racing before World War II, hosting several minor races in 1939, starting on June 3. The war halted racing for about a decade, but plans for a permanent circuit were already in motion. During the German occupation, roads were constructed through the dunes. After the war, these roads were widened and connected to form the foundation of the Zandvoort circuit. The Royal Dutch Motorcycle Association collaborated with Sammy Davis, the 1927 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, to design the track.

The Dutch Grand Prix’s return to the Formula 1 calendar was delayed by COVID-19, eventually rescheduled for September 2021. Despite operating at two-thirds capacity due to pandemic restrictions, the grandstands were filled with a sea of orange-clad Verstappen fans. Their patience was rewarded as Verstappen secured a memorable victory on home soil, marking a perfect comeback for the historic circuit.

Zandvoort is a medium-high downforce track, known for its abrasive surface that challenges tire management. Teams must carefully set up their cars to balance the demands of both qualifying and the race. The 72-lap race on Sunday requires a setup that ensures competitive race pace while maintaining optimal tire performance throughout the event. The circuit’s unique characteristics and passionate Dutch fans make the Dutch Grand Prix a standout event on the Formula 1 calendar.
