“We laughed a lot about Assen,” says Van Overdijk Friday in De Telegraaf. In the past year, there was a long struggle for candidacy for the organization of the Grand Prix between Zandvoort and Assen. The Netherlands Grand Prix Foundation supported Assen. A solid lobby for Assen was conducted from the North.
“Assen was a non-issue”
Van Overdijk said he had not been impressed for a moment by the competition from Drenthe.
We laughed a lot about Assen
,, The insiders and the government knew that it was actually a non-issue. We just did not interfere with that because we had agreed so with FOM (Formula One Management, ed.). But our competition was Buenos Aires, Copenhagen and Las Vegas and not Assen. “
Surprise on social media
On social media, Van Overdijk’s comments lead to surprise. “Arrogant and inappropriate sneer to TT Circuit van Assen,” comments Chris Woerts on Twitter. ,, Where the Assen board has always been courteous, the attitude of the Zandvoort management is a sign of contempt for the province. Blame from rookie director. “
