==The circuit== [[File:Circuit Park Zandvoort from air 2016-08-24.jpg|thumb|Aerial image of the circuit (2016)]] [[File:Circuit Park Zandvoort-1999 vs 1980.svg|thumb|Differences between 1980 and 1999 versions of the circuit]] The circuit gained popularity because of its fast, sweeping corners such as Scheivlak as well as the "Tarzanbocht" (Tarzan corner) hairpin at the end of the start/finish straight. Tarzanbocht is the most famous corner in the circuit. Since there is a camber in the corner, it provides excellent overtaking opportunities. It is possible to pass around the outside as well as the easier inside lane.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a1gp.com/Circuit/CircuitInfo.aspx?circuitId=9&seasonId=4|title=Circuit Park Zandvoort, The Netherlands|publisher=a1gp.com|date=n.d.|access-date=1 November 2009|archive-date=18 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191018172104/http://www.a1gp.com/Default.aspx?circuitId=9&seasonId=4|url-status=dead}}</ref> This corner is reportedly named after a local character who had earned the nickname of [[Tarzan]] and only wanted to give up his vegetable garden in the dunes if the track's designers named a nearby corner after him.
