Silver II - Eastside 2A highlighted; other sections in grey.

Eastside 2A looks out over Turns 10 to 12, with the stand positioned on the outside of the DRS straight leading into Turn 11. That stretch is one of Zandvoort's recognised overtaking spots, so cars arrive at speed before braking hard into the Hans Ernst chicane right in front of you, making it one of the more action-packed vantage points on the Eastside.

Turn 12 is visible beyond, extending your sightline further through the sequence. A big screen is in view, so you can follow the rest of the race lap while waiting for the next battle to unfold in front of you.

Groups of up to 10 can sit together in numbered seats, which helps for planning a day out with family or friends.

What to know about Silver II Eastside 2A at Circuit Park Zandvoort

Silver II Eastside 2A puts you on the outside of the DRS straight, directly over the braking zone into the Hans Ernst chicane at Turns 11 and 12. This is one of the circuit's recognised overtaking hotspots, meaning you will see aggressive passing moves and genuine racing moments rather than processions. The stand overlooks Turns 10 to 12, giving you a full view of how drivers approach and execute moves through this critical sequence.

Your seat is numbered and fixed, so you know exactly where you will sit before race day. The grandstand includes a video screen, useful for replays, timing data, and coverage you might miss at track level. Expect to be mostly in the sun throughout the day, so bring sun protection and stay hydrated.

This category is ideal for fans who want to see real F1 action and overtaking without paying for a hospitality or premium-tier package. The focus on an active part of the track makes it better value than many general-admission or lower-tier options elsewhere on the circuit.

How it compares at Circuit Park Zandvoort

View all sections →

Gold Eastside 3 covers a very similar stretch, taking in Turns 11 to 12 with Turn 13 visible from the far left, and is also flagged as one of the best Eastside overtaking spots. If your priority is the sharpest view of that braking zone and you can stretch the budget, Eastside 3 is the upgrade to consider. Eastside 2A sits at the Silver II tier, making it the more affordable way to access the same overtaking action.

Bronze Eastside 1, the closest budget alternative on this side of the circuit, watches cars run flat out along the straight between Turns 10 and 11 but largely misses the Turn 11 braking zone itself, which is blocked by the Eastside 2 stand. If witnessing the actual overtaking move rather than the approach matters to you, Eastside 2A is the better choice between the two. Gold Arena 1 also overlooks a recognised overtaking zone and adds the famous Arena atmosphere from Turns 11 to 13, so that is worth considering if you want to combine action with crowd energy.
