Super Friday brings families, racing fans, and festival-goers together
For years, Super Friday has been known for offering a complete experience for families, children, and special audiences. Plus, with the F1® Sprint format, it’s instantly a sports day filled with thrilling action.
Jan Lammers, sporting director of the Dutch Grand Prix: “The sport comes first. With the first-ever F1® Sprint Qualifying, the public will experience cutting-edge Formula 1® action today. At the same time, the packed Fan Zone demonstrates just how broad its appeal is. Max Verstappen has introduced a new generation to Formula 1.”
Since its return in 2021, Zandvoort has transformed Friday from a traditional practice day into a full-fledged event day featuring sports, drivers, entertainment, and an evening program.
Robert van Overdijk, director of the Dutch Grand Prix: “With Super Friday, we’ve set a new international benchmark. Zandvoort has the most successful and best-selling Friday on the Formula 1 calendar. The sport is the foundation. With an attractive program for families, children, racing fans, and festival-goers, we’ve also turned Friday into a full-fledged event day.”
