Zandvoort has received a boost in their efforts to secure the return of the Dutch Grand Prix in 2020.
Having hosted Formula 1 until 1985, the circuit has been considered the preferred option for one of Liberty Media’s top priorities, as they look to capitalise on the popularity of Max Verstappen.
However, with a deadline of the end of March to reach a deal, securing the financial support has been tough, particularly after the national government ruled out investment.

Now though, 4m Euros has been granted by the local council in Zandvoort towards the redevelopment of the circuit in the hopes of pushing through what they see as a big opportunity to host a major international sporting event.
“We are happy to invest in the return of Formula 1 to the most beautiful circuit in the Netherlands,” councillor Ellen Verheij said via GPFans.com.
“We are proud of Formula 1 and Circuit Park Zandvoort and are prepared to stick our neck out for that.”
