Why go

The growth of federations and clubs around the turn of the twentieth century helped organise Dutch sporting life. The national Olympic committee followed in 1912. For a place-based connection, Assen’s motorcycle-racing history began on public roads before moving to a purpose-built circuit, while coastal Zandvoort became associated with Formula One.
