From Camping F1

Important News - Dutch F1 2020

Unfortunately, we will not be offering camping at the Dutch Grand Prix in 2020. For those still interested in this event that have not yet purchased a race ticket, Formula1.com have now released their ticket sales for this event. It is likely that these will sell very quickly. The official Dutch GP website, state that more information regarding overnight accommodation for those with caravans and campers will follow shortly.
It's very rare for them to offer camping on the first year of an event- they go the first year to scope out sites for year two. Or so they claimed when we were discussing the Austrian GP on its first year back.

"The unique Official 538 Dutch Grand Prix Village tent is suitable for 2 people. In addition, you can take the tent home afterwards. €950,00 per person"

In other words: "Having flogged you a cheap tent for 2 grand, we'd appreciate it if you took the stty thing home with afterwards" biggrin

Are Millett's still in business ?

Lodge looks half decent, but they missed a trick, could have painted them in the correct shade of orange

There's a load of campsites all along the coast around there, plus a centreparcs. I bet they've all jacked their prices up though.
Bus/train from Haarlem shouldn't take too long either.

But there is an actual race ticket in the package too.. remember.. hehe

I’d say if enough people wanted to go we could jet in/propeller (privately) from the south east for the price of a bit of canvas..

If I was going I'd stay in Amsterdam and get on the train there I think staying in Haarlem you'll struggle to get on. Other option is hire a bike the area has excellant cycle paths etc.

Fair point, I'd assume they'd run extra services though. Bike hire likely to be tricky though as I bet all the local shops will be swamped by people with the same idea.

https://9292.nl/en is the site you want for Dutch public transport, they also have a decent app.

I always stay in the hotel at the main gate to the circuit, i bet it's eye watering costs for that weekend, as no doubt will be my usual eateries on the seafront. eek

The poor cars will be sat down hard and sparking all the way round that! The first practice runs will be interesting to watch - I doubt anyone will enter the weekend with the perfect setup, this will literally be a learning 'curve'. smile

Those are photos or renders of the much lower speed Hugenholtz curve, not the banked high speed Bosuit or whatever it is called nowadays (Luyendijk?)

That is also Hugenholtz. The cars are driving towards you if you like, disappearing to the right

The high speed curve is a right hander
