I doubt it very much Tony, the infrastructure is way out of date.
There is one road in and one road out of Zandvoort, I avoid it like the plague in the summer and I can't really see any one over here investing in this kind of project for one F1 race a year, if that.
Would love to be proven wrong though, as Zandvoort is just down the road from me...
It’s been 30 years since Zandvoort hosted its last Dutch Grand Prix, but now they want to bring Formula One back to the circuit.
“It is a historic circuit, it would be so nice if we could get back on the calendar. I realize that it will cost tens of millions of Euros to bring back Formula One, but we should certainly explore the possibilities,” said local councilor, Jerry Kramer.
He’s not wrong about it costing a lot, with the Zandvoort circuit currently looking way, way, way too unsafe to hold an F1 race.
The Netherlands are currently going through Max-mania and you can’t really blame them when 18-year-old Max Verstappen keeps on showing why so many people consider him a future world champion.
Zandvoort director Erik Weijers added: “There is a lot of money involved, but this is a first step. Should it come to a concrete plan it will take some time, perhaps in 2019 or 2020.”
No worries, Max’ll still only be 22 by then.
The start of the 1982 Dutch GP at Zandvoort. Formula One last raced at the track in 1985.
