Ciao Herman, you played on the home circuit today. For Italian motorcyclists, the Assen Grand Prix has always been a pilgrimage, like for a Christian who goes to the Vatican. Ciao, grazie!
The facilities at Assen are already great. They competeted with Zandvoort for the Dutch Grand Prix. Actually, Assen was more easy to adjust for Formula 1 than Zandvoort. But because of the history they choosed Zandvoort. The only required adjustment to the layout of Assen was the extension of the backstraight, to create possibilities to overtake.
@@Circuitsofthepast I learned something new today. I had thought that they would have to have required more "upgrades" to be ready for F1 and that was why they were not chosen. Thank you for correcting me.
TT Circuit Assen was used every year for an truckstar event. All sort of trucks came on the track. Normaly it will be there right now i think. But yeah. Covid destroyd it
agreed. I'm convinced that had that part of the track still been present It might just have been the push convincing the FIA to host Formula1 in the Netherlands in Assen as opposed to Zandvoort regardless of the laters heritage
I just had a motorcycle track day here and now i can relive the experience through this video 😂
The old track (pre 1996) was so amazing. This layout lack's the exciment of the old layout.

Assen has the longest continuous single-tier grandstand anywhere in the world.
I think this would make a great track for F1 to come to, but probably would require a lot of upgrades to make it to their standards to be F1 Ready.
