Motopark driver Max Verstappen – the son of 1993 winner and former Formula One driver, Jos Verstappen – started from pole position,[2] and led every lap en route to becoming the youngest winner in the race's history, aged 16.

Verstappen won by six seconds on the road from Jules Szymkowiak,[3] his Van Amersfoort Racing teammate in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship.

However, Szymkowiak was given a 20-second penalty post-race after a first-corner incident with Sam MacLeod, the team's German Formula Three Championship driver, which dropped him to fifth place.

The Zandvoort Masters was first contested in 1991 as a one-off international meeting with drivers from all the major national Formula Three championships invited to compete.

[7] Circuit Zolder hosted the 2007 and 2008 editions due to noise restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in the Zandvoort area.
