Welkom terug op Zandvoort! The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup returns for a third time to the Dutch circuit – this time with a double race. The penultimate race weekend of the season will be decisive for the drivers’ championship. Don’t miss it!
The last race at Spa-Francorchamps had to be prematurely concluded due to emerging rain. However, the magnificent spectacle of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup will continue in the neighbouring Netherlands – with the championship battle entering its crucial phase. The sixth and seventh round of the Porsche Supercup will be held at the Circuit Zandvoort as part of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix. Specifically, this involves a single Qualifying Session in which the best two laps of any driver determine their grid positions for each race: the fastest lap time will establish the grid position for Race 6, while the second fastest lap time will assess the grid position for Race 7.
Few people realise that Zandvoort’s circuit is deeply ingrained in the early days of Grand Prix racing. The first race was held there in August 1948. However, it was not until 1955 that it was officially incorporated into the Formula 1 championship. There were no more Grand Prix events from 1985 until the end of the 20th century. In 2021 the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup together with Formula 1 returned to the North Sea coast near Amsterdam. The 14 eclectic corners are spread over 4.307 kilometres and constitute a mixture of technical sections, long sweeping corners for slipstreaming and breathtaking steep turns. Furthermore, the 32-strong field of drivers will reach a top speed of nearly 260 kph in their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars on the home straight. As unique as this particular course is, the sand is omnipresent, making the track unpredictable – especially when the North Sea wind scatters grains of sand all over the track.
