Bronze - Eastside 1 highlighted; other sections in grey.
Eastside 1 sits on the outside of the straight that runs between Turns 10 and 11, placing you directly alongside a DRS zone where cars are at full acceleration after exiting Turn 10. The sensation of speed here is the main draw, with drivers at their fastest as they power down the straight toward the braking zone ahead.
Bear in mind that the Turn 11 braking zone itself is largely obscured by the Eastside 2 stand, so the overtaking action at that corner is not fully visible from here. A giant screen is on hand to keep you connected to the broader race, and numbered seating means your spot is guaranteed.
What is the view like from Bronze Eastside 1 at Circuit Park Zandvoort?
Bronze Eastside 1 gives you a view of the high-speed DRS straight between Turns 10 and 11, where you will watch drivers accelerate hard on the exit of Turn 10 and commit to the flat-out run toward Turn 11 (Hans Ernst turn). The stand is positioned on the outside of this section, so you see the cars at full speed, though the braking zone itself as they approach Turn 11 is largely obscured by the neighbouring Eastside 2 stand.
This is a numbered grandstand, so your seat is allocated in advance. A large video screen is integrated into the stand, allowing you to follow the race action across the circuit and catch replays. The stand is mostly exposed to the sun, so bring sun protection if you are visiting during a sunny race day.
Who is this grandstand for?
