Memories of the Year: Zandvoort magic
A trip to Zandvoort is a highlight for most motorsport fans. Jamie O'Leary made the pilgrimage to the Dutch seaside for the first time this year to watch the DTM cars in action, and he liked what he saw...
May 13, 2011, mid-afternoon, and I'm standing on what seems like the top of a cliff (it's actually just a big sand dune) and looking over the ultra-quick Malborobocht at Zandvoort.
It's my first visit to the legendary Dutch venue and I can't resist the temptation to venture trackside during the DTM's 90-minute practice session that kicks off the German tin-top series' weekend at the seaside.
