Don't mind me, I'm little disappointed by that last corner. I was kinda expecting it to be a long corner similar to Indianapolis. But again, this circuit is great. I'm looking forward to this race.
nah… i was waiting to see if the bump is still there on inside line close to apex of corner ..when coming to pits.. looks like its smoothed out tho.. would be a bit sketchy if track was slightly wet or dirty from discarded rubber or oil spills covered with "cement dust" .
@@fulldump9834 This year (2020) is the fastest F1 cars has ever been. They don't sound as fast, but the regulations/"formula" set before the 2017(?) season allows the cars to be insanely quick, although that can damage the ability to overtake and race wheel to wheel. F1 naturally always gets quicker every year because the teams are pushing the development of the cars really hard and exploiting every possibility that the rules allow until it reaches a point where FIA, who is in charge of F1, decides to rewrite the rules to force the teams to build slower cars, for safety, sporting and entertainment reasons. We want exciting racing more than extremely fast cars. In the end to be "fast" is relative. Personally I would love to see extremely fast cars and really safe and good racing. I'm not sure though that is possible. maybe one day. From 2021 onwards though the focus will be on better racing and putting on a greater and more exciting show for the fans more than outright speed, which I think is the right way to go. Eventually the teams will find ways to make the cars insanely fast again :) But I do wish for some more high rev engines, to get back that mighty roar... Ehm, no, I mean Scream of the pre 2014 days. :)
It's crazy to see the track barren empty and quiet. And a year later, you see yourself winning your home race with the crowds covering the atmosphere with a sea of orange smoke.
xD really xDXDXD v6 sounds like shit and you can not hear them anyway xD they need to go back to v10 or at least v8 like in this video .... such a shame and this halo things is crap too...
cher cherry the halo saved multiple lives in just 2 years, and the v6 is the best engine (not in sound) yet known. Oh and btw, they aren't THAT weak in sound, if you were on a race, you would understand, because its still top technology (except Williams, jk)
Let's hope it will rain otherwise I don't think we will see many overtakes on this track. The straight is too short and there are no big breaking zones
@@stencelot that wouldn't be bad, I've seen a video by the designer of the track and he said gravity should make the racing lines on the banked corners more dry... We'll see though
@@pampillone The last corner has so much banking on the outside it's effectively part of the main straight, they'll be able to open the DRS through that corner and still go flat out. Like, the banking gets steeper the further to the outside you get, and the steeper the banking the faster you can go. The inside apex line might not even be the fastest line there.

Very true, but I still have my doubts, I don't see the overtaking possibilities. Even down the main straight it's gonna be hard to overtake because of the series of medium to high speed corners that lead onto it, the car in front will always get a better launch. It just feels like they rushed this bc they wanted a race dedicated to max quickly, reminds me a lot of how they out of nowhere put the Valencia GP on the calendar in 2008 just for fernando Alonso. And that proved to be awful
1:22 Every lap, the driver only gets about 5 seconds of rest during the straight and there are over 70 laps 🕵🏾♂️ The constant concentration needed is similar to Brazil.
@Air Safety News 24x7 Can people stop spreading the misconception that John Hugenholtz designed Zandvoort. His first design was Suzuka, which he was asked to consult on because of his work as director at Zandvoort, a track that 1927 Le Mans winner Sammy Davis was the consulting designer on.
@Roger Dodger Technically that part wasn't by John Hugenholtz either, he didn't yet design tracks untill well after Zandvoort was completed. See my earlier replies. Also, the old circuit was actually shorter, in a cruel twist of irony.
m'yeah... it's a bit weird it has been allowed, even if the car is not the 2020 one, private tests are usually forbidden. Maybe he needed to learn it... :)
Literally got chills watching this...brings back memories from one of the best days in my life, when I was able to drive some sportscars (Porsche, McLaren, old F3 car) around this track.
It will be a spectacular race cause there will be a lot of accidents. Without the accidents this will be the most boring weekend. The winner will be the one who gets pole cause there is no opportunity to overtake without the driver flying out of the track.
I think there will be more overtaking then we think. After corner nr.7 (Scheivlak) and after and just befor 10, 3 and 1 there a possibilty's. The track is wider then it looks on this camera.
@@ArieVisker the problem is not if the track is wide enough. The problem are the banks. One wrong move, a gust of wind or another driver will send you out of the track at a ver high speed.

So far, regardless of who was to blame, we’ve had two big crashes at two tracks, both at places where there was great speed …so top of Radillon at Spa, and Copse at Silverstone….I’m guessing those at this track don’t want the same to happen at the banked section so are taking steps to minimise that from happening.

@@jeroen3657 literally one overtake opportunity and it's a slim one. This track is going to be dirty air paradise... Still can't believe they took the German gp off after the great gp we had last year
@@noutdehoog5572 Yeah but monaco isnt as fast as this circuit, also it is a lot more safe than this one, there are going to be huge crashes on this traxk.
@@SmokeyBCN There's no way to get alongside there. I think the banking is more to negate the effect of dirty air not to allow them to go side by side. Remains to be seen how effective it will be. Could be dull as dishwater or weirdly exactly what Formula 1 needed to improve the show.
i agree looks nice to drive but not to race.. too many tedium speed corners that dont have heavy braking zones. biggest stop seemed the chicane which looked easy to defend.. might be boring if dry race..
Koen Blank It’s mostly the way the turbo spool is implemented into the exhaust line that makes the V6 turbo hybrids sound so shit, not just the fact that it’s turbocharged
@@Marpurrsa Actually they could with a nice transition, you can ride a wallride even on bikes, it would be a joke for an F1 car, the hardest part is design and construction. Anyway that is underwhelming compared to what they built even a century ago where there was even the AVUS in Berlin.
Caleb Kan the distance between turns seems really short though... which would mean the pack would be closer together compensating for the few overtaking spots
Hmm, unsure of this, 2020 cars are lower so it’ll be interesting to see how they take the banking, plus the track looks really thin, don’t want another Monaco
Thin? Only in a couple spots. Most of it is pretty wide actually. There's a channel with drone footage of it where you can see it more clearly. Most of it is wider than a lot of the other circuits on the schedule.
@@davebcf1231 Well it's a give and take I think, I personally think the track looks awesome, just awesome. But then I tend to like thing's like Monaco, Leguna Seca, and shy away from long many turn technical tracks like say Barcelona. Not that I don't like the difficulty of more turns and everything, but Seems like this track here, Leguna Seca and some others still have some good turns to navigate, they don't distrupt some natural "flow" and make the track more open to the drivers intuition and feeling maybe? Of course the traditional F1 fan will probably not like it which is a valid opinion of course.
Beautiful. This track feels organic and rounded, following the given landscape. I am very much looking forward to watching you guys race there! And a Honda quadruple victory... ;-D
@@vanderspaced yeah turn 12 is great, but I never loved turn 4, especially the way you come up on it from turn 3. I'm really excited to see how it will be now. We'll have to see. I'm sure it will be released as official content on at least one sim or a mod for AC1.
@@vanderspaced Yeah for sure. rFactor 2 is my favorite sim, so I hope they update it also. They have released periodic updates on Zandvoort, as recently as 2019, so I can seem them adding the new layout.
Absolutely. There are so many ways you can approach the corner. Go high and carry more speed at the exit. Go low and you cover less metres but go slower. Late apex to do a switchback to another car, early apex and it could be a slide job. So many racing lines
@@Ofitus21 both of you forget how big the cars are now...theres no room for different lines, and like that will make a difference at lol "different lines" lmao idiots
As several others have pointed out, sadly the last corner will be useful just for the first 10 laps. When the marbles generate everywhere except the racing lane, you will once again have a single file and then DRS overtakes on the straight
I was thinking the same thing, where will the overtaking corners be?? There is not hairpin corners for the late breakers, I just feel if will be a boring race and who gets pole will probably get the win.
Grant steele now that i thought a bit more about it, i’m not sure if it will be a boring race. yes overtaking will be difficult but i think that there will be a lot of surprises and dramas that’s why it’ll be interesting haha!
@@FinnAL23 I just cant see it mate to be honest, they had a opportunity to create and entertaining race track but I cannot see it, turn one looks to tight. But I hope I am wrong and I will be the first to hold my hands up if wrong haha👍
This is the kind of circuit f1 needs, not those boring circuit designed to make overtakes, this circuit will make you overtake in the most unexpected places and bring the people at the edge of there seats
I agree, this new layout with all the banking looks great and exciting. But as a dutchman i can't help but be extremely angry about them flattening and totally ruining the only corner that WAS banked. The Tarzanbocht (turn 1) Was our most legendary corner and now they totally destroyed it.

The pre-turbo hybrid engine notes have an amazing impact on the listener. The cars from 2010, for example, are 3-5 seconds a lap slower than today's, but they sound faster, which makes them appear faster.
Finally, a truly hi-speed track without any silly Tilke slow-speed corners.
Which means no overtaking
@@rnichol22 Every lap you can overtake at Tarzan. DRS can be opened very early in the banked corner.
@@jeroen3657 literally one overtake opportunity and it's a slim one. This track is going to be dirty air paradise... Still can't believe they took the German gp off after the great gp we had last year
@@julessteenkeste8757 It would be most epic track for V10 era... not so much for those cars sadly.
Jules Steenkeste German GP ran out of funds. Mercedes has to sponsor the event for it to have existed last year
There's gonna be some huge crashes on this track when drivers are trying to overtake!
There not will be overtakes in this circuit
It’s not like Monaco is any better
@@noutdehoog5572 Yeah but monaco isnt as fast as this circuit, also it is a lot more safe than this one, there are going to be huge crashes on this traxk.
I disagree
@@CaptainKoosh nice, get some action in the parade.
The last corner. I've named it "the slingshot"
Good name, but it hasa great name.. it's called the 'Arie Luyendijk corner' after the only dutch indy 500 winner 👌😊
@spilot101 They turn right now?! :O
Mike Spearwood
They mean the Indianapolis road course obviously... 🙄
@@vectro4284 Fair enough.
Hienoa Tero!
That’s an exciting lap. Didn’t see anywhere to pass unfortunately. Going to be a dull race.
0:20 look how high the wide line exit is to that turn, big advantage to going in there on the outside if they have the courage
well, can't be any duller than the last 'Race'
@@SmokeyBCN There's no way to get alongside there. I think the banking is more to negate the effect of dirty air not to allow them to go side by side. Remains to be seen how effective it will be. Could be dull as dishwater or weirdly exactly what Formula 1 needed to improve the show.
@@John-ok8ts i think there is still a possibility. There were some overtakes on that banking in f3. But f3 isn’t f1 so we’ll see
*Front left tyre has left the chat*
Doohan Silverstone 2020 race 1
F1: Okay guys, we're struggling for overtaking action
Also F1: Let's go to Zandvoort. Famous for no overtaking in every racing class.
i agree looks nice to drive but not to race.. too many tedium speed corners that dont have heavy braking zones. biggest stop seemed the chicane which looked easy to defend.. might be boring if dry race..
@@Chongo_657 last turn is gonna be a fantastic overtaking opportunity if someone figures out the best line
For me Turn 1 (Tarzan) looks perfect for overtaking, very difficult to defend. I think we'll see a lot of overtaking around the outside of that turn.
Yeah doesn't look good for overtaking, Looks just like roller coaster of a track. Hopefully I'm wrong, But I doubt that 🤣
Yeah it will be terrible.
And looks quite unsafe at some pints with barely any runoff with walls waiting to kill drivers...
Miss the sound of those extra cylinders 😭
More of extra rpm...
The sound of no turbo
Koen Blank It’s mostly the way the turbo spool is implemented into the exhaust line that makes the V6 turbo hybrids sound so shit, not just the fact that it’s turbocharged
And the beautiful look without the ugly halo
@@Vhs.dreams Yes, the ugly halo that has saved many drivers
Love the banking on those corners
Easily the most interesting and creative track in the lineup in terms of layout/construction
Oh yes. Awesome car and awesome track. Zandvoort is one of my favorite F1 tracks. Great work
every time i see that banked corner im just so impressed, its sooooo amazing
its barely banked at all.. such a let down
@@mikelow4374 I didn't even notice it at first.
@@mikelow4374 its not a game, they can't make it a wall ride xD
Miss the days of Indianapolis
@@Marpurrsa Actually they could with a nice transition, you can ride a wallride even on bikes, it would be a joke for an F1 car, the hardest part is design and construction.
Anyway that is underwhelming compared to what they built even a century ago where there was even the AVUS in Berlin.
Gotta say it's the gotta be the most interesting track since Buddh circuit, it's gonna be a real treat to see the drivers battle it out here
the problem is that you will see less overtakes than France 2019
@@TikerFighter Yeah, could be a problem being that it was an old circuit so cars back then were smaller compared to the monsters we have now
It looks like fun to watch and for them to drive, Not sure if they can really battle or overtake.
Caleb Kan the distance between turns seems really short though... which would mean the pack would be closer together compensating for the few overtaking spots
@@twandepan Yeah that's what I'm hoping for. Even if overtaking will be difficult the pack might be bunched up creating some opportunistic lunges
Hmm, unsure of this, 2020 cars are lower so it’ll be interesting to see how they take the banking, plus the track looks really thin, don’t want another Monaco
they change the hight for different tracks
Thin? Only in a couple spots. Most of it is pretty wide actually. There's a channel with drone footage of it where you can see it more clearly. Most of it is wider than a lot of the other circuits on the schedule.
They don't care what you want? And me neither...
@@davebcf1231 Well it's a give and take I think, I personally think the track looks awesome, just awesome. But then I tend to like thing's like Monaco, Leguna Seca, and shy away from long many turn technical tracks like say Barcelona. Not that I don't like the difficulty of more turns and everything, but Seems like this track here, Leguna Seca and some others still have some good turns to navigate, they don't distrupt some natural "flow" and make the track more open to the drivers intuition and feeling maybe? Of course the traditional F1 fan will probably not like it which is a valid opinion of course.
@@richardaling5278 it's a fucking opinion lol
and now he won the grand prix!!!
Win in Zantvoort,Let's Go Maxxx🏆
Everyone missed this sound so much ❤️
agree
V6 os better
I don’t
All those banked and flowing corners!!! So graceful! It’s going to be FAST!
yup.. a fast train with 2 second gaps and no passing
@@mikelow4374 maybe next year it'll be better considering the cars should lose much less downforce
No. It's not a fast track at all. You're letting the go pro deceive you
@@mikelow4374 there was some passing last year tho. let’s see how 2022 goes when we go there.
Oooooooooooooo 👀 this should get exciting
Yes. Barcelona/Hungaroring 2.0. Should be epic.
As exciting as Barcelona, Hungaroring, Monaco and French GP .... 😴
This new track is probably the most interesting thing in F1 2020... nicely fast and flowing and lots of camber!
Beautiful. This track feels organic and rounded, following the given landscape. I am very much looking forward to watching you guys race there!
And a Honda quadruple victory... ;-D
this track is beautiful
Are you ok michael ?
is it you？ nice to have you back
@@erwinhuizinga1220 and dangerous as fuck
Dat ziet er na zoveel jaar echt prachtig uit.
Lekker rondje.
Wow, it looks amazing. I was just racing Zandvoort on ACC and T4 and 12 are so different now. I hope some of the sims release the new version.
I miss the old turn 12 already 😥
@@vanderspaced yeah turn 12 is great, but I never loved turn 4, especially the way you come up on it from turn 3. I'm really excited to see how it will be now. We'll have to see. I'm sure it will be released as official content on at least one sim or a mod for AC1.
I'm looking forward to Zandvoort getting more attention on AC1. DTM class there was some of the most fun I've ever had online.
@@vanderspaced Yeah for sure. rFactor 2 is my favorite sim, so I hope they update it also. They have released periodic updates on Zandvoort, as recently as 2019, so I can seem them adding the new layout.
This weekend the gp. Can't wait for it
Slight risk of rain forecasted for Sunday. ☔🏁🏎️
legit one of the most fun tracks to drive, feels like a rollercoaster with all the hills and fast corners
Portimao >
Where can you pass though?
Everybody talking of overtakes at the first corner, but i think most of the action will be at turn 3, where so many different lines are possible
no there won't be any overtaking anywhere
There will be zero overtakes, the race will be a procession but quali will be cool to watch.
theres 0 spots anywhere T3 comes off a corner that is long and bendy = dirty air
Absolutely. There are so many ways you can approach the corner. Go high and carry more speed at the exit. Go low and you cover less metres but go slower.
Late apex to do a switchback to another car, early apex and it could be a slide job. So many racing lines
@@Ofitus21 both of you forget how big the cars are now...theres no room for different lines, and like that will make a difference at lol
"different lines" lmao idiots
wow i love this track already! but it looks small and overtaking will be difficult, still it'll be an interesting one especially the last corner!
As several others have pointed out, sadly the last corner will be useful just for the first 10 laps. When the marbles generate everywhere except the racing lane, you will once again have a single file and then DRS overtakes on the straight
I was thinking the same thing, where will the overtaking corners be?? There is not hairpin corners for the late breakers, I just feel if will be a boring race and who gets pole will probably get the win.
Grant steele now that i thought a bit more about it, i’m not sure if it will be a boring race. yes overtaking will be difficult but i think that there will be a lot of surprises and dramas that’s why it’ll be interesting haha!
@@FinnAL23 I just cant see it mate to be honest, they had a opportunity to create and entertaining race track but I cannot see it, turn one looks to tight.
But I hope I am wrong and I will be the first to hold my hands up if wrong haha👍
Anyone here before the GP in 2021? 😃
This is the kind of circuit f1 needs, not those boring circuit designed to make overtakes, this circuit will make you overtake in the most unexpected places and bring the people at the edge of there seats
Really nice Verstappen congrats from Brazil!
This course feels like a rollercoaster! Smooth lap Max :o)
This circuit is utterly insane! Speed seems very, VERY high and banked corners all around. Can't wait to see a race in it!
I agree, this new layout with all the banking looks great and exciting. But as a dutchman i can't help but be extremely angry about them flattening and totally ruining the only corner that WAS banked. The Tarzanbocht (turn 1) Was our most legendary corner and now they totally destroyed it.
how refreshing is that sound ! how we miss it
And here we are.. 🍾
now THAT is a track!
This track is better than herman tilke track, it's so good like every turn make the car flow so smoothly
WIll be terrible for overtaking though.
Ik vind het zo gaaf dat er dit jaar en Race in Zandvoort kommt
Pree_ Rxfi_btw hij had beter in assen kunnen komen
@@jelmer8618 ja man, nog smaller
juich niet te vroeg.
Wolf Blitzer inderdaad door die Corona...
@@rensvanampting234 Nooit bij Gamma dagen geweest? F2, DTM en ook Indycar event, boss en raceklasses die niet zo populair zijn. Assen was er al klaar voor voordat Zandvoort iets had en nu belastinggeld er tegenaan gooien omdat huisjesmelker gratis voor nop een nieuw circuit krijgt op kosten van bevolking.
Liever had ik geen van beide op kalender gezien maar Assen was en is gewoon de betere geweest qua kosten.
The track has an awesome flow!
I'm excited for the official weekend 😎
OMG this track look epic to drive.
I love this track. Very different from existing tracks and the flow and elevation changes are breathtaking.
YES! Oh man I love what I'm seeing in Zandvoort. Hard to imagine how much fun Max was having on that undulating track destined to be his home Grand Prix.
Are you watching the same footage everyone else is ??? You love what you’re seeing ?? Where in the world are you seeing overtaking opportunities ?? This track is ridiculous
@@deezelkane I’m not so sure about that. I think you might get some action at 11/12 and an outside chance at 3 if their game. I like what I’m seeing as well, wish the straight had an extra few hundred meters to it though
@@NebraskaGonvilleJones mate, there won’t be any action. Undercuts and overcuts. Come back to this comment after the race so I can say, told you so.
@@NebraskaGonvilleJones Hungary barely had any overtaking, and this track has a smaller straight than Hungary.
@@deezelkane You seem very sure of your opinion. I like that. I just happen to think your opinions are wrong. We will see…
Amazing track, amazing sound, amazing driver.
Awesome piece of driving...the sound of the engine...I could almost feel the acceleration! Sweet video!
This camera view is awesome and really gives a sense of speed
Now, he won there
Turn 3 looks like so much fun 😁
Finally a track thats seen a revamp for F1 that isnt garbage. I think every series racing at Zandvoort benefits from these changes 👌
It seems that we will have one more Monaco but with higher speeds
and more chance of rain
I think as Hungaroring
It's nothing like Monaco.
Beautiful track, really love the banked corners and gradient.
Why the camera is not like this during race ? The sense of speed and vision angle is sooooo much greater
Its going to be AMAZING!!!
I can already see myself sleeping on the couch during the race
@TheWeeaboo please save me from your preach...funny you say that I just got the Championship Club Package for Melbourne 2020 last night. I've been a fan since the drivers where driving with "one hand" cause the other had to change the gear.
There's gonna be a some crashes in here I can feel it
Well yeah, Hass are bringing their cars.
that last corner, gonna be some big snap oversteers into that top wall i reckon.
*Heavy breathing in Grosjean*
@@DominoEffect2528 How is Grosjean still in F1 lol
DominoEffect2528 I think Ericsson hit us
I bet this track is gonna be a pain in the ass in the upcoming F1 game. Getting the right speed to enter a turn while holding on to the racing line? Hellish...
Denk dat ik um al 30 keer heb bekeken, al is het een 'bejaarde' RB8, gewoon rete gaaf dit, bedankt Max en Jos (Ik ben nog een Jos fan van vroeger).
That may well be one of the most glorious tracks in all of F1! Epic. Cant wait for the race!
Amazing track! Really miss those naturally aspirated V8s.
Such a great track. Loved this one when I played F1 iRacing.
It’s so much better now wow. One of my favorite tracks by far
The speed that the current cars will carry through the turns on this track is simply terrifying (and awesome). Hopefully we get to see it with this iteration of cars (the fastest in f1 history) and it is not cancelled due to coronavirus.
(Also lets keep this victims of this in our hearts 😔)
Peace
