I had higher hopes for this track when it was announced. But it just seems to busy for it to be enjoyable.

The track is enormously fun driving with a road going fast car... as for F1 - the cars are just way to big these days for this track as they are with many many others as well...

Dutch authorities seize Haas F1 cars at Zandvoort
https://www.grandprix.com/news/dutch-authorities-seize-haas-f1-cars-at-zandvoort.html
Translation:
The threat to the Haas Formula 1 team’s participation in the Italian GP ended after the team paid former sponsor Uralkali the money owed to him.
A legal dispute over payment meant there was a possibility that the team could be prevented from taking their cars and equipment out of the Netherlands after this weekend’s Dutch GP.
From what we learned the payment was made late Friday and the team is now free to leave Zandvoort on schedule on Sunday night.
The affair began when Haas dumped Nikita Mazepin in early 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made it impossible to hire him.
The team retained sponsorship paid in advance by the Uralkali company owned by Mazepin’s father, Dmitry.
In June a Swiss arbitral tribunal ruled that the team should have returned $9 million to Uralkali and Haas had no choice but to pay.
The team said international sanctioning laws have slowed down the process of returning funds, although Uralkali disputed that claim.
Team Principal Ayao Komatsu said on Friday: “The arbitration ruling was issued and then we accepted it. We are not discussing this in any way.
“It’s a complicated process to transfer funds, and we’re working on it, and it took longer than I would have liked. We are completely focused on making it as soon as possible.”
In an effort to encourage payment, Uralkali sent police and local bailiffs to Zandvoort on Thursday and, after some discussion, it was agreed that Haas could run this weekend.
However, if the funds had not been paid by the team, the team could have been stuck in taking the trucks and equipment out of Holland on Sunday night, thus putting its participation in Monza at risk.

Haas cars and equipment stuck in Zandvoort amid Uralkali row
https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/haas-cars-and-equipment-stuck-in-zandvoort-amid-uralkali-row/10647725/
Haas insists the payment was made on Friday evening, with owner Gene Haas saying on Sunday afternoon that “everything is now sorted”.
However, with the funds being sent on Friday, it is understood it had not been deposited into an account in the Middle East due to weekend delays.
Still there, still there

I like the track but the races don't seem to be great.
Devilmaster should be pleased with the result!

WORD OF THE WEEKEND: Gyro-Cam.
Gyro-Cam doesn't do a thing for me. It's not all what I expect the drivers to see nor what I would experience if I were driving the track.
