Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted May 6, 2023 It seems that a new speedway track is being built in Veenoord, Netherlands. What can you say about it @DutchGrasstrack? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0i8x5gBwLfWNsL9JgrSSDxKWopefMoJ3kEVDVyLZ7tA8RU9n8JnV5wsqG45gXTTHdl&id=100057472119084 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted May 7, 2023 Yes that's right. They are building a new track on the opposite of the current track. Should be in a shape like Vojens, so much rounder then the current track. They will have a opening with practice at the first weekend of june. Dutch Championship schedules for the first weekend of july with the traditional golden helmet at the end of september. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuxtonTiger 122 Posted May 8, 2023 Will it also be used for stockcars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted May 8, 2023 Only speedway. 2-3 events per year. I’m still quite surprised that this new build track is all funded by the local municipality Part of a bigger renewal of their local sporting-complex though, but still. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 491 Posted May 8, 2023 I have to wonder why they would build a second track at the same venue. I was there some years ago & it was a great track for the 500cc sidecars at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted May 9, 2023 The current track is gone, and now replaced by a concrete/asphalt surface. This will be used as a skeeler track, or speed-skating in the winter (if it freezes lol).
