The Circuit Zandvoort is a racing venue located by Zandvoort beach in North Holland, 15 km away from downtown Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Zandvoort is a world-class raceway owned by the Dutch Prince Bernhard of Orange-Nassau and has hosted the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix on several occasions. The FIA Grade 1 road course has a total length of 2.65 miles (4.26 km), 14 turns, and some remarkable features like its 29 feet (8.84 meters) elevation change. The oceanic climate at the circuit location means a wet track surface for racing with cloudy skies and cool temperatures year-round. Summers are mild, and winters see little snow.
The Circuit Zandvoort runs clockwise and starts/ends in the front straight, parallel to the beach. Corner number one, the Tarzanbocht, is a tight-angle, downhill turn with an acceleration sector right at its exit. The sweeping Gerlachbocht comes next and corner number three, the high-banking Hugenholtzboch makes drivers feel the power of G-forces pulling them to the side. The fastest sector of the track stretches through turns four, five, six, seven, and eight, with a hard braking zone at Bocht 9 entry. After Bocht 10 comes another high-acceleration straight stopped at Hans Ernst Bocht and resumed through Kumhobocht and Arie Luyenduk Bocht to close the circuit at full throttle.
