Formula 1 is going to hit its 15th event of the season this Sunday, September 4th, and the track selected is Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands.
The Dutch Grand Prix’s Circuit Zandvoort is known as a real ‘old school’ track with fast, banked, and challenging corners, shaped by the natural dunes.
With a circuit length of 4.3 kilometers, it ranks among the shorter tracks on the F1 calendar.
Hardly anywhere else, drivers zoom past the race fans as often as they do in this course.
The circuit gained popularity because of its fast, sweeping corners such as Scheivlak as well as the “Tarzanbocht” (Tarzan corner) hairpin at the end of the start/finish straight.
Tarzanbocht is the most famous corner in the circuit.
Since there is a camber in the corner, it provides excellent overtaking opportunities.
It is possible to pass around the outside as well as the easier inside lane.
This corner is reportedly named after a local character who had earned the nickname of Tarzan and only wanted to give up his vegetable garden in the dunes if the track’s designers named a nearby corner after him.

F1 Dutch GP Race Preview and Betting Picks
Unsurprisingly, Max Verstappen is the clear favorite to win the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix.
Fresh from securing his ninth victory of the season, the reigning champ is ready to hit double figures for race wins this weekend.
Things seem to indicate that Charles Leclerc is Verstappen’s biggest threat.
The 24-year-old is the only other driver to have won multiple races this year, although he has struggled for consistency throughout the campaign.
Besides that, Verstappen has an excellent teammate in Sergio Perez, who has been consistently getting good results while allowing Verstappen to remain on top.
Perez just reclaimed second place in the World Drivers’ Championship standings with a P2 finish in Belgium last weekend.
“Checo” has achieved seven podiums this year, including a victory in Monaco.
