F2 Calendar - Zolder

Earste
The first corner is a long left hander which will put extra work on the right sided tyres. The mid speed corner has a number of different lines which will allow drivers to run side-buy-side through it during the race
Lucien Bianchibocht
The fourth corner at Zolder is a mid-speed right hander which leads onto one of the longest straights on the circuit. A car can get twitchy on the exit of this corner and so it is important to get a good line out of this corner if you are defending a place or trying to pass the driver in front
Kleine Chicane
Coming at the end of a long straight, the Kleine chicane is a test in how stable a car is under heavy braking. The exiting right hander leads into a long, fast bend called Butte which is taken flat-out heading into the Terlmaenbocht section of the circuit.
Terlamenbocht
The Terlamenbocht section of the circuit encompasses four corners, a chicane and two right handers. The section begins with a chicane after the fast Butte section. This chicane then leads into two right handers which are similar to the Lesmo curves at Monza.
Jacky Ickxbocht
The final corner is another chicane similar to the last chicane at Imola. The first part of the corner can be an overtaking opportunity for those who are carrying good speed on arrival. If not, it is imperative that both apex’s are hit in order to carry good speed down the long start-finish straight and into another lap
Jochen Rindtbocht
A quick left-right section breaks up the long straight into the last chicane. This won’t be an overtaking area but if someone doesn’t carry a lot of speed through this corner they could be under pressure at the last corner

Located in the Flemish region of Belgium, the undulating Zolder circuit is one of the countries premier racing tracks.

The 2.4 mile circuit was constructed in 1963 and went on to host the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix 10 times in the 1970s and 1980s. Formula One first arrived after the Spa-Francochamps circuit was deemed too dangerous for the sport and Zolder held the race continuously between 1975 and 1982.

Once Formula One headed back to Spa, Zolder has gone on to host World Touring Cars, Superleague, the 24 hours of Zolder and in 2007 a round of the Champ Car World Series. The FIA Formula Two Championship arrives at the circuit for the first time in 2010 as part of the World Touring Car package and it is sure to be a unique challenge to the drivers involved.
