Zandvoort banking to be twice as steep as Indianapolis

The Zandvoort circuit set to host the Dutch Grand Prix in 2020 will feature a section with a banked corner twice as steep as the turns at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Zandvoort, located to the west of Amsterdam, is undergoing a revamp ahead of its return to the calendar. It last hosted a Formula One race in 1985.

The circuit's final corner will be angled at 18 degrees - Indianapolis' famous oval circuit features banking at nine degrees. There will also be banking at Turn 3, the Hugenholtz.

"That corner will for sure be the most spectacular part of our renewed circuit," Zandvoort CEO Robert van Overdijk told Dutch radio station BNR Niewsradio.
