Where the lap is won. And lost.
TARZAN
Make the first turn.
The opening corner is one of the circuit’s signature sights. It starts a lap that rarely feels flat or simple.
THROUGH THE DUNES
Follow the road.
The track rises and falls through the dunes. The driver has to keep the rhythm as the road changes underneath.
THE BANKED FINISH
Carry it home.
The banked final corner sends the cars back to the straight. Watch how the line develops through the banking.
Zandvoort, on your clock.
