Track Info
TT Circuit Assen - Assen, Drenthe, Netherlands
Permanent road course - clockwise - 4.542 km MotoGP layout with 18 turns, legendary Ramshoek and the Geert Timmer chicane capping the lap
When was the track built?
The Dutch TT started on public roads in 1925 and shifted to an Assen street loop in 1926. A dedicated circuit was constructed in 1955 and has evolved multiple times, most notably in 2006 when the lap was shortened to a modern, spectator-friendly layout while retaining Assen’s high-speed character.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race was the 1925 Dutch TT on public roads. The first Dutch TT on the new, purpose-built Assen circuit came in 1955, cementing its status as the longest-running event on the MotoGP calendar.
What's the circuit like?
- Fast, flowing DNA: Sequences from Ossebroeken to Ramshoek reward commitment and front-end feel more than raw braking performance.
- Signature finish: The Geert Timmer chicane decides countless last-lap battles before the sprint past the pits.
- Brakes-light profile: Assen is among MotoGP’s least demanding tracks on brakes, so tyre management and momentum carry the day.
- Benchmark pace: MotoGP race-lap 1:31.866 and 1:30.540 pole underline the layout’s speed; BOSS GP’s 1:17.109 shows the car ceiling.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- MotoGP - race lap: 1:31.866 - Francesco Bagnaia, 2024 Dutch TT. Qualifying best: 1:30.540 - Bagnaia, 2024.
- WorldSBK - recent poles: 1:32.8 - Toprak Razgatlioglu (2025 Superpole); prior years 1:33.5 (2023), 1:32.93 (2022).
- DTM - touring car reference: Competitive race laps in the mid 1:33s to 1:36s window on the current layout.
- BOSS GP (F1-based) - outright: 1:17.109 - Ingo Gerstl, STR1, 2023.
Why go?
Assen is a cathedral of speed with amphitheatre sightlines, packed grandstands and relentless, high-cadence racing. MotoGP and WorldSBK put on drafting duels through Ramshoek into Geert Timmer, and support paddocks are famously accessible for fans.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Haarbocht Grandstand (T1): Starts, restarts and big out-braking moves into the opening right. ~10,000 seats and prime visibility.
- Strubben (T5): Slowest point on the lap - traction fights that set up the Veenslang straight.
- Ramshoek to Geert Timmer: Watch the high-speed commit through Ramshoek and last-lap lunges at the chicane.
- Main/Hoofd and TT World Stands: Pit action, podium and the run to the flag.
Not just MotoGP: headline series at Assen
WorldSBK: Annual spring stop with Superpole sprints and two features - lap records tumble in cool temperatures.
DTM/GT World Challenge: Touring and GT3 events deliver deep grids and divebombs into Haarbocht and Geert Timmer.
BOSS GP & prototypes: F1-era machinery and LMP-style cars showcase Assen’s ultimate grip and aero demands.
