Zandvoort

[Dan7357]

Anyone done this track ?

[GTWayne]

No, not yet, but I plan to
BaT are doing a day there on 11.8.09.
It is not an easy track to get onto but is well worth going if you can ( or so I am told )
The last time BaT did a TD there was in '05 and they have not been able to secure another date until now.

[Dan7357]

Maybe worth book it up.

Thanks

[Ponk]

I have, it's a great track but very hard on tyres.

my 2nd favourite circuit after Spa - i really rate zandvoort and as waye says we ask every year for dates but it's a popular place and it's taken us 4 years to get offer a single day again.

i'd describe it as being halfway between dijon-prenois and spa-francorchamps. you won't be disappointed - i'm properly excited about our return in August.

It's a great track, I went with BaT in '05 (double header with Spa = heaven).

Jonny I wish you were able to get 2 days at Zandvoort or combine it with Spa or Dijon or Magny Cours!

[jleroux]

me too Andrew - but beggars can't be choosers and the 11th August was the only date they'd give us this year and we couldn't get anything else anywhere near it :-(

Any advise on staying in the area with safe parking ? Also how from from the Dam is it ?

[jleroux]

it's only a 10 min train/taxi ride from Schiphol - makes it the perfect arrive & drive track day venue given the quantity of budget flights to amsterdam. ryanair were doing £10 flights inc taxes a few weeks ago!

Cool..

How many cars will be on track !?

[jleroux]

bookings capped at 60 cars maximum, circuit limit is 42 IIRC, we'll probably run around 30 cars on track at a guess.

I also did the BaT day there in 2005. It's a stunning track, absolutely fabulous. Some nice gradient changes and scenery, a pleasant antidote to UK desolate former-airfield layouts. Highly recommended.
