The exodus by train of thousands of racing fanatics from Zandvoort ‘is going well’, the Dutch Railways reports. There are twelve extra long trains per hour with a driver in the front and in the back, so that they can leave for Amsterdam Central again soon after arrival.

Earlier, the Dutch Railways reported that 49,000 racing fans were transported to the seaside resort this Saturday. On the circuit they saw the third free practice and qualification for the GP van Zandvoort, which will be held on Sunday.
