Geographical Information

The Zandvoort circuit (Circuit Park Zandvoort) is a motor racing track located near the town of the same name, a seaside resort on the Dutch North Sea coast. 


Historical Information

Built very close to the sea, the circuit, which is very popular with drivers, has the added pitfall of wind that brings beach sand onto the track.The track has marked elevation changes of at least 7.92 meters difference; 
characteristic sections include the Tarzan turn (original Dutch name Tarzanbocht), a sharp right-hand hairpin immediately at the end of the start straight characterized by a marked superelevation, and the very fast section that is tackled “flat out” along the Hunse ridge (Hunserug) and going up through the Rob Slotemaker turn (Rob Slotemakerbocht), to go to the brakes once the top of the dunes is reached, where it comes off the top of the hill and faces the fast and blind Scheivlak.

The official name of the current sections of the circuit (the numbers correspond to the sections starting from the start to the finish):

  • Tarzanbocht (1)
  • Gerlachbocht (2)
  • Hugenholtzbocht (3)
  • Hunserug (4)
  • Rob Slotemakerbocht (5)
  • Scheivlak (6)
  • Mastersbocht (also called Marlborobocht in homage to the old configuration) (7)
  • Aamlozebocht (also called Renaultbocht) (8)
  • Zonder naambocht (also called Vodafonebocht) (9)
  • Hans Ernstbocht (also called Audi S) (10 + 11)
  • Kumhobocht (12)
  • Arie Luyendykbocht (also called Bos Uit in honor of the bend of the same name in the old circuit configuration) (13)

It was on this circuit that Piers Courage lost his life in 1970 and Roger Williamson in 1973, the latter perished in a fire following an impact against the barriers installed close to the track just ahead of that year's race and to which the organizers had always steadfastly opposed, believing the system of stop nets to be safer.
