Like me, your eyes may well have been glued to the 2025 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix during the weekend just gone. It’s a highlight of the season to watch modern F1 machinery on such an old-school, narrow and undulating circuit. It’s an unforgiving one too, as several drivers experienced during the weekend.


I watched this year’s race with my eyes even more out on stalks than usual, given this time last year I unexpectedly received a text message from Revolution co-founder and chief designer Phil Abbott, offering the chance to race the supercharged 500 EVO in an endurance racing event called The Trophy of the Dunes. Following the weekend, I thought I’d scribble down some insights on what it feels like to experience the circuit at first hand.
