Here’s what you need to know about these thrilling racing spectacles, including the exciting increase in race track time.
Zandvoort and Assen Increased Track Time: A Major Highlight
The Sports Prototype Cup has worked diligently to secure additional race time at both Zandvoort and Assen (two x 60 minute races at each event), giving drivers more opportunities to perfect their skills and compete at a higher level. This increase in race track time underscores the commitment to providing a superior racing experience and adds significant value for all participants.
