Historic Grand Prix Zandvoort 2017

Since a few years now, the circuit of Zandvoort has put great effort in organizing the Historic Grand prix Zandvoort.

And the organization has done well. There are a lot of spectators and competitors. And with the famous Goodwood Revival just a week later, there are nevertheless plenty of teams that don't want too skip Zandvoort for that Goodwood Revival race.

The weather was sunny and everybody made a big effort to show up, with cars as authentic as possible. This means that it was a colourful ensemble of cars.

Among the drivers I picked out two Dutchman who played or still play an important role in the automotive History: Adrian van Hooydonk and Harm Lagaaij.

Harm Lagaaij is well known for his work he did as a Designer at Porsche until his retirement and Adrian van Hooijdonk is now Director of Design for the complete BMW Group.



Adrian really can't wait to start up his BMW 2002 TI

Another BMW Adrian drove this weekend: the 1800 TISA. With lots of memories stuck on the rear window
