Track description by Robin Frijns

“Assen is a typical motorbike race track with flat curbs. I contested a Formula Renault race here once. As a spectator, you get a pretty good view of the race track. At the start and finish there’s a huge grandstand that stretches from the last chicane to Turn 1 – which is great for spectators. At any other spot fans are quite far from the circuit because the run-off areas are rather large. Assen features a long straight. Particularly critical is the double left-hander before the back straight. Every corner in Assen has its quirks. For instance, there is a triple right-hander and a very tight left-hand hairpin that will not be easy.”
