Street circuit "Prijs van Zandvoort", 1939, length
2284 meters
The track displayed above was only used at the
street-races in 1939 organised by the mayor of Zandvoort, Van Alphen.
Nowadays there is nothing left of wich you can conclude that there was a
racetrack once (like you can see on the pics).
Zandvoort Circuit, 1948-1973, length:
4193 meters
Above displayed the first permanent road-racing track at
Zandvoort. It's a very fast track with challenging turns (Like Tarzan
and Scheivlak). The circuit changed in 1973 due to savety reasons wich
were very nessecairy. Till 1973 the circuit had no crash barriers, and
the only thing between the circuit and the spectators was a small wooden
fence.

Zandvoort Circuit,1989-1998, length:
2526 meters 
Back in 1989 the circuit was almost banned out of Zandvoort due to a new
bungalowpark on the right of this trackmap.But a "safety-plan"
reheld the circuit from closing. The straight became shorter and the
part of the track ("Bos Uit" for example)pulled up to the
north to make way for the holliday-resort. From "Hunzerug" the
track makes a right turn ("Toyota") and goes from new "Nissan"
turn to the new "Bos uit". The dark grey part of the track is
not being used in this period but remains for future expansion plans.
Zandvoort Circuit,
1999-now, length:
4300 meters 
This is the circuit like it is nowadays. At the end of the 90's the
track was expanded. From Scheivlak three new turns, the new "Marlboro",
"Renault" and the "Vodafone" turn to old "Nissan"
turn, renamed in "Audi S". Old "Bos uit" was renamed
in 2002 in "Arie Luyendijk", one of Netherlands best drivers
ever, he won the Indianapollis twice.
