Gold - Tarzan in 1 - Circuit Park Zandvoort Grandstand Guide

Grandstand at Circuit Park Zandvoort

Our verdict

Gold Tarzan in 1 is the standout choice for fans who want to watch wheel-to-wheel overtaking at close quarters, placing you right at the outside of the famous Tarzanbocht hairpin where the action at Turn 1 is as intense as anywhere on the calendar.

View from the Tarzan grandstand at Zandvoort, overlooking the Tarzanbocht hairpin at Turn 1

Sitting in Tarzan in 1 puts you at the closest point of the Tarzan-in grandstand to Turn 1 itself, the wide hairpin at the end of the main straight that Zandvoort fans know as the Tarzanbocht. From here you look directly into one of Formula 1's recognised overtaking zones, watching cars brake hard from full speed and jostle for position through the entry and apex of the corner.

The grandstand also carries a view of the start/finish straight, so you can follow the field as it accelerates toward you before the braking zone unfolds right in front of your seat. A big screen is visible from every seat in the stand, meaning you stay connected to the broader race picture even when the action is happening elsewhere on the circuit.

Be aware that the stand is uncovered, so you are exposed to the elements throughout the day. Tarzan in 1 is the section of the three-part grandstand positioned nearest to the corner, which gives it the most immediate sightline of the hairpin entry compared to Tarzan in 2 and Tarzan in 3.

What to know about Gold - Tarzan in 1 at Circuit Park Zandvoort

Gold - Tarzan in 1 is positioned at the outside of Turn 1, the legendary Tarzanbocht, closest to the corner apex itself. This location gives you a direct, grandstand-level view of one of Formula 1's most recognisable overtaking zones, where drivers routinely attempt brave passes into the wide hairpin. You will see the entry to the first corner clearly and have sightlines along the start/finish straight as cars brake and compete for position in the opening moments of the race.

The grandstand is uncovered and predominantly sun-facing, so you should plan accordingly with sun protection on race day. Your numbered seat is part of the Tarzan-in complex, which is split into three sections; Gold - Tarzan in 1 is the section positioned lowest and closest to the racing action at the corner itself. A large TV screen is visible from all seats, ensuring you can follow incidents and replays even during intense trackside action.

Who this is best for

This category suits fans who want to see wheel-to-wheel racing and overtaking drama up close. If you prioritise action and close finishes over a broad circuit overview, the view at Tarzanbocht is hard to beat.

How it compares at Circuit Park Zandvoort

View all sections →

If watching overtaking is your main priority, Tarzan in 1 is the most focused option in the circuit's line-up. Gold Ben Pon 1 also looks onto the start/finish straight and is similarly in the sun, but its view centres on Turn 14 exit and Turn 3 rather than a dedicated overtaking zone, making it better suited to fans who want to see cars rejoining the straight after the final banked corner. The Hero Package Pit stand covers Turn 14 exit and Turn 1 exits, includes a direct view of the pit lane and podium, and can seat groups of up to eight, so fans for whom pit-lane visibility or podium views are a priority should consider that option instead.

The Starter Package Hairpin stand sits at Turn 10, a slow corner suited to photography, which is a very different experience from the high-speed braking drama at Tarzanbocht. Free Roaming offers unreserved standing on the dunes with variable views and no guaranteed seat, so Tarzan in 1's numbered seating and confirmed sightline onto the overtaking zone make it the more dependable choice for groups of up to ten who want to plan ahead.
