Description:
Circuit Park Zandvoort - In the 1930s, serious plans were developed for a permanent car racing track in the Netherlands.
At the time, there were already two circuits for motorbike riders, the renowned Drenthe Circuit and the TT Practice Circuit in Limburg.
On 3 June 1939, the first car race was held on a road circuit in Zandvoort. Although the war broke out soon afterwards, the huge success of these races convinced the Mayor of Zandvoort, Mr. Van Alphen, to develop plans for a track to the north of the beach resort.
Even then, the mayor was acutely aware that more was needed to draw the crowds than just sun, sea and sand.
On 7 August 1948, the first car race was held on Zandvoort’s new track.
