Circuit Park Zandvoort - Historie (2605 words) |
 | The Royal Dutch Motorbike Association organised the first motorbike race on the Zandvoort dune circuit on 28 August 1948. |
| Sporting highlights in the period to 1973 included the 1952 Grand Prix, which was a world championship race, the Grand Prix of 1961 when all 15 starting vehicles made it to the finish without a single pit stop, and the Dutch Grand Prix in 1955, won by Fangio and Mercedes. |
| With scheduling that would drive U.S. promoters crazy, the Grand Prix was held as early as May 20th (1962) and as late as August 31st (1980), August was the most popular month, with eleven of the thirty races held during that month. |

| The 1933 Monaco Grand Prix was the first time in the history of the sport that the grid was deciding by timed qualifying rather than the luck of a draw. |
| The Grand Prix of Argentina was noteworthy as Moss, driving a Cooper, used one less pitstop and had to conserve his tires in the later stages of the race, just crossing the line with the canvas showing. |
