It started 100 years ago, the motorsport history of the Netherlands. In 1925, with the wapper of the flag, the first TT race and so did tradition. The circuit is undergoing several transformations, but if you look very closely. Can you still see it, the pieces forgot TT history.
Now it is an asphalt road that turns into a Klinkerweg, driving cars to and from the center of the village and the hills in the road ensure that there is no too fast driving. But there used to be the start of the TT. In 1925 they started on the Brink in Rolde. “The circuit was much longer at the time than today. 28.4 km long,” says Egbert Braakman, former secretary of motorcycle club Assen and the surrounding area and walking TT-encyclopedia. “Depending on the class 6 to 8 rounds, he had to be driven,” he says, hard to look up while calculating the kilometers that are.
In 1925 it was the first and last time that the TT started and finished here, the start/finish moved in 1926 to the place where it still lies today. The mill and the house where the drivers drove past just before the first corner are still there. You can see how the street circuit went from the past.
