Organisers travelled to London late last year to further the discussion of Zandvoort potentially hosting the Dutch Grand Prix. However, Zandvoort has been warned that discussion could be pulled entirely from the table if a promoter isn't appointed by March 31.
The Dutch Grand Prix was last held in 1985. Each of the 30 Dutch GP's that have been held have all taken place at the Zandvoort circuit. In recent years, the track has been used for DTM and Formula 3 racing.
