Dutch Grand Prix Returns to Zandvoort from 2020

[MoerasGrizzly]

Is there any one who believes this will be great track for F1 racing?

The 60s version was great!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

The 60s version was great!

'Even that wouldn't be great with todays cars though.

i edited,just to say i love the track too,and i even put pictures here from a gt3 /clio cup and tcr pics

So a track where overtaking is already almost impossible in GT-touring cars with almost no straights so no long DRS possible with an insanely bumpy surface as all simracers know with limited transportation and grandstand possibilities that lost its F1 contract in 1985 because of the limited revenue possible.

I'd love to see that guy mentioning that in a meeting and the supervisor going:

Yeah, great plan, let's do it.

At least with the current layout, overtaking will be a nightmare; it'll be almost as bad as Monaco. The reason we still have Monaco is that it's Monaco, but we don't need ANOTHER Monaco. Other than money and Max, I'm still not sure why they've added this to the calendar. We'll see

Nothing wrong with the track, quite the opposite really.

It's F1's modern cars which are the problem.

Well, that, at least, is one situation in which overtaking there should not be a big problem...

The very first sane reply here.
Thanks.

Agreed. But that doesn't make it any less suitable for F1.

Another classic track that will be destroyed for overtaking opportunities and safety.
Zandvoort is not suited for modern f1 cars, Assen would be a better choice.

 

[Boby Kim]

They should it one big DRS zone. Its a bloody cart circuit. Fun to drive a clio or F3
*Heineken must have made a huge deal

 

[Giovaneveterano]

Leave the high kerbs as they are!

 

[NDG]

Can't be worse than Monaco... Though with modern F1 cars being bigger and faster, I doubt passing is something to look forward to. But since this is already the case, why not bring 'em all back again?Donington? Brands Hatch? This are very good tracks IMO. Not for modern F1 though. Again, IMO...

 

[tazza1986]

I'm waiting for F1 in Mugello. Sadly we don't have Max Verstappen or oil wells

may be put some soap on the track just before the tarzan turn en make it a paraboleum catapult

 

[Marcel Offermans]

How about introducing joker laps?

 

[Lum]

Oh dear.. I mean, it was going to happen sooner or later, but... oh man... This track is awesome with slower cars. Anything faster than a F3 will be totally bonkers. Tarzan will push for the start-with-most-crashed-cars throne year after year Looking forward to it, thou
