Gold - Ben Pon 1 highlighted; other sections in grey.
Positioned at the centre of the main straight, Gold Ben Pon 1 gives you a direct look at Turn 14 exit, the final banked corner of the circuit, as cars rejoin the straight and accelerate hard toward race-winning speeds. The combination of high exit speed and the wide main straight ahead makes this a strong spot for anyone drawn to raw pace rather than low-speed manoeuvring.
The stand also takes in Turn 3, so you get a second viewing point mid-session as drivers commit to that corner on each lap. A big screen is present, keeping you connected to action happening elsewhere on the circuit.
The start and finish straight is visible from your seat, meaning you will see race starts, Safety Car restarts, and the finish itself without leaving the grandstand.
What is the view from Gold - Ben Pon 1 at Circuit Park Zandvoort?
Gold - Ben Pon 1 delivers a front-row seat to two key moments: cars exiting the final banked turn before they hit maximum speed down the main straight, and drivers working through Turn 3. The grandstand sits centrally on the main straight, placing you at the heart of the action as the field approaches and leaves the circuit's quickest section.
This is an uncovered, numbered grandstand, so you will have direct sun exposure for most of the day.

Who is this grandstand best for?
