CIRCUIT ZANDVOORT
Circuit Zandvoort is known as a Formula 1 racetrack and lies at the centre of a dune-filled landscape north of the town of Zandvoort. The racetrack is characterised by its many hills as well as treacherous crests and bumps. The sand from the dunes, which is continuously blown up and over the track surface by the coastal wind, presents an additional challenge.
