Track Parade

This is when the grandstands really start to fill up. 2 hours before lights out, drivers warm-up for the race by waving at fans and answering questions. Last chance photo op before the helmets go on.

The driver’s parade at the Dutch GP is from 13:00 – 13:30 on Sunday.

Dutch GP Schedule 2025: Support Races


F1 Academy

F1 Academy is an all female racing series that aims to popularise motorsports for women and girls and to provide a launchpad for higher tiers of motorsport, including ultimately, F1. The emphasis is on driver skill and so all cars use an identical chassis and engine.

Action gets underway on Friday with two practice sessions, followed by qualifying on Saturday. The first 30 minute race takes place later on Saturday afternoon and race two is held on Sunday.

The schedule for Zandvoort sees a 45-minute practice session on Friday, a 30-minute qualifying session on Saturday and a 30-minute race on Sunday.
