The Zandvoort Lowdown
Everything you need to know about the Dutch Grand Prix

Formula 1 is back after the summer shutdown — and a trip to Zandvoort lies in store for Logan this weekend.
The Dutch Grand Prix is the first of ten remaining races in 2024, as Sarge looks to make an impression in the campaign’s final furlong.
He will be hoping for a strong start in North Holland, at a venue where he qualified in P10 last term.
The Circuit Zandvoort will present plenty of challenges, however.
Having undergone significant upgrades before its return to the F1 calendar in 2021, it is a rollercoaster-like track that rewards high-speed cornering.
Stretching across 4.259 km (2.646 miles), the 14-turn circuit starts with a bang, thanks to two hairpins at Turn 1 and the banked Turn 3.
Those tests are followed by the fast corners of Sector 2, before the largely narrow track widens ahead of a slow-speed chicane at Turns 11 and 12.
But Logan will take inspiration from a commendable performance at Zandvoort back in 2021, while driving in Formula 3 with Charouz Racing System.
He finished second in the first sprint race that year, before ultimately placing P6 in the main event.
Sarge also picked up a point in the Netherlands in 2022, by finishing P8 in the Formula 2 sprint race.
A similarly positive outcome this time around would represent the ideal return to action for LS2.
