iRacing.com – Zandvoort Scan Images

Posted on October 10th, 2009 in

Back in July, iRacing announced the addition of the Zandvoort Circuit park to their online racing simulation, making it the first track from mainland Europe to be included. Now, the iRacing crew has completed scanning the Dutch track, releasing the following two high-resolution scan data images for us to enjoy.

Modeling of the track will start next week, joining two other tracks which are currently in development. The team has made nice progress on the Canadian Mosport Raceway which might make it into the next build release. Meanwhile, the staff has finished modeling the track surface of Brands Hatch, another European track in the development pipeline.

Opened in 1948, Circuit Park Zandvoort has hosted 30 editions of the Dutch Formula One Grand Prix, today’s layout is 4.18 kilometers long and consists of 11 turns.

Located in the near-beach dunes, the track is notorious for sand being blown on track. The layout is made up of slow and quick corners as well as many elevation changes that make Zandvoort a rather tricky place to drive. Even though Formula One is long gone, the track still hosts many major events, including DTM & WTCC touring car racing as well as an annual A1GP event.
