• Cycling is not allowed everywhere in Zandvoort, for some that was a reason to take a different route about the beach. It is not only the fastest, but also the most difficult route. “We could cycle 20 kilometers from our hotel in IJmuiden around the dunes, or cycle 7 kilometers over the beach. We opted for the latter, but plowing through the sand is very heavy.”
• There was a lot of reason no trains for a while more between Zandvoort and Amsterdam because a bus had hit a railway viaduct.
• Qualifying had to be halted for a while because a 33-year-old man threw a smoke pot on the track. Director of the Dutch Grand Prix, Jan Lammers, urgently called after the race not to bring flares to the track today.

• Fewer trains also ran between Zandvoort and Amsterdam in the evenings a faulty overhead line. It did not lead to a big crowd.
