Circuit Park Zandvoort, known as Circuit Van Zandvoort when it was on the Formula One calendar, is a racing circuit on the North Sea coast, just north of Zandvoort, Netherlands. The track opened in 1948, and last hosted Formula One in 1985.
Circuit History
Prior to World War II, there had been plans for a race track in the area. The local club had held street races in the late 30s, but after the war a track was laid out, largely on defense roads built by the German Army.

The track length from 1972-79 was 4.226 km (2.626 mi). A second chicane was added before the 1980 race, tightening up the Panoramabocht. The final track length for Formula One was 4.252 km (2.642 mi).
