Assen 1925
This nice little country road was the start/finish site of the
first ever motorcycle race in the Netherlands.
The first corner, this was an S-corner ...
It was ... because it's now an intersection! The 1925 course was where now
the cycle path is.
A remarkable point at the circuit was a very narrow bridge which is now
replaced by a modern one.
At 2/3rd of the leg Rolde Borger was a series of fast kinks which are very
well recognizable today.
We arrive at Borger, the first angle of the track.
Than straight away to Schoonloo ...
Halfway the leg Borger Schoonloo was the intersection at Westdorp. In 1925
this was a real corner, but now it's rounded for traffic-technical reasons.
The long sweeping corner just before we're reaching Schoonloo is still
there.
In Schoonlo was the second angle of the circuit, but today it's a
roundabout!
Accelerating towards Grolloo, 1.8 Miles further.
Here they changed the road to lead the traffic around the village. In 1925
the road was on the left side, at the site where now the cornfield is!
The site of the red white fence is where the original road was. After this
corner we will continue the original course of 1925.
The S-corner at Grolloo.
If you think away the van it looks like time have stand still here.
The corner leads to the new road, in 1925 they go straight on the narrow
road in front.
Looks like 1925 ...
But not for long, because classic has made place for modern from here ...
After the fence the modern road continues.
Modernism all around complete with roundabouts. The fly over in front is
from the road N33 which we will cross another time at our lap ...
Here in Rolde was the third and final angle of the track.
