So 2026 will be the last Dutch gp

At Zandvoort

[fallow grotto]

Yes.

I was there this year.

For the 2nd time then

[tame moss]

i know of a few folks whk will be excited

im so-so.

[echo mesa]

Yup

Max has only 2 home races left sadly

[sour python]

i can only work 2 years there left then i will still work there with smaller events but belgium will also come

[hollow condor]

Why

Zandvoort is so good I love it

[sour python]

well i am marshal at Circuit Zandvoort and next year ill do F1 at Spa and Zandvoort so

[finite galleon]

do you get paid doing marshal?

[sour python]

nope everything is unpaid except if you do like Belgium GP you get free bronze passes for close family

everything is being done by hundreds of volunteers

[west dagger]

The question is, what’s gonna replace it (more to the point which either middle Eastern or United States race will replace it)

[echo mesa]

I guess there quite a few options, they could go back to Germany or France or Portugal or maybe even South Africa.
And, if the war ends by then, Russia is a possibility too.

[rancid frigate]

oof

[lyric silo]

No 💀

It means it'll be on the calendar until AT LEAST 2026 and probably beyond too

[pulsar nest]

Maybe read the whole tweet before fighting with the air next time

[sour python]

yes because we can't provide it anymore because government doesn't help zandvoort to host it

and i know it because ive spoke to the Director of Dutch GP and Chief of safety from the track about it

[vast ruin]

i dont get why not to extend.... zandvoort is a cash cow even for the local transport

[austere bramble]

As the race organisers apparently lose money on the event

[vast ruin]

then just increase the price (dont see problem there)

[austere bramble]

Less people will buy tickets, I am sure they have financial staff looking at all of the options

[vast ruin]

even if they stop and go somewhere else it will be the same situation at some point in time

either increase something even if its only 10 bucks or have fun time at the finance department

[daring tendon]

Make it austria red bull ring silverstone for f1 factory monaco for home and interlagos for family from kelly🤷‍♂️

[echo mesa]

All that's fine, but your actual home race has a special feeling to it, nothing can replace that.

[hard siren]

one of my favorite f1 tracks, sad to see it go

[pulsar nest]

In that case, his ACTUAL home race is Spa

Just races under the Dutch flag

[echo mesa]

Yea, fair point

[ivory plank]

leave the f1 before the f1 leaves you

[hollow condor]

😭😭😭

I’m so sad and annoyed about Zandvoort ngl
