After F1 and Circuit Zandvoort announced the Dutch Grand Prix would disappear after 2026, there was an immediate question among fans whether there might be an opportunity for another track to take over.
The Dutch F1 circuit Zandvoort will be departing the race calendar after the 2026 campaign, with TT Circuit Assen confirming they have no interest in taking over the Dutch Grand Prix event. Max Verstappen’s success with Red Bull has made Zandvoort a popular race venue, but even his world title win couldn’t secure victory at this track. Zandvoort organizers chose to end the event to avoid financial trouble in the future, while Assen is focused on celebrating 100 years of TT and does not have room on its schedule for an F1 grand prix. Assen’s spokesperson commended Zandvoort for its management and respected the difficult decision to exit at its peak.
