The Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort has rapidly transformed into an all-out festival, more than just an auto race. Sure, the high-speed action is the main event. But from the moment you step through the gates and take in the scene, it's clear that the show being put on for the fans is every bit as important as what happens on track. The weekend experience is packed with countless opportunities to interact and engage with the sponsors and the series. You can hardly turn around without bumping into one.

F1 Fan Zone: Where the action continues off the tarmac

The Zandvoort Fan Zone, found just beyond the last corner, is far from a barren wasteland. Instead, it pulses with activity during the entire weekend of the Dutch Grand Prix. State-of-the-art simulators and gaming rigs are set up at the Fan Zone and at a few other pivotal points along the circuit, and they swarm with fans eager to take on a digital version of Zandvoort.

You can also participate in more analog activities, like attempting to match the speed and efficiency of F1 pit crews in a pit stop challenge, or trying to balance on the edge of, well, insanity, while getting as close to the Fan Zone in an F1 car as possible (without actually going onto the track), thanks to some very judicious camera angles.

Super Friday: Where the weekend kicks off in style

The Dutch GP blasts off. Super Friday serves as the official opening celebration—and it’s not all about practice runs. Look for appearances by the drivers; local hero Max Verstappen is bound to be one of the fan-favorite features of the day.

Expect Q&A sessions, stunt shows on the track, and a good old motorsport-meets-music-festival ambiance. Highlight the evening portion of the day with a throwback party to the 90s, starring popular Dutch acts like Kensington and La Fuente.

Weekend-long entertainment: Music, DJs, and performances

The circuit doesn't slow down on Saturday and Sunday. The atmosphere transforms into a party venue with live DJs, popular local musicians, and grid-side entertainment before and after the main event.

On Sunday, artists like Kris Kross Amsterdam and Tino Martin take over to carry the energy from lights out to well beyond the checkered flag. It's a celebration that keeps the crowd buzzing long after the race is over.

Racesquare: Premium sim racing above the pit lane

If you yearn for a direct sim experience in an immersive setting, Racesquare is the place to be. This year-round venue, located above the pit garages, offers racing sessions on pro-grade simulators, making the whole affair feel as close to the real thing as your current reality can get. You can book a time with a group or wander in over the race weekend, and with these pro-grade simulators, it’ll feel as close to an F1 rig as any settings can. Super License or not, this is the prime experience for wannabe F1 drivers.
