The second of three 2019 W Series venues that have hosted F1 races, Zolder has always been somewhat overshadowed by the majestic Spa-Francorchamps. However, Belgium’s second-best known venue has always been popular with fans and drivers and has a history that stretches back over five decades. Located in a wooded area close to the historic city of Hasselt, Zolder opened in 1965. From its early days it attracted F2 and F3 action, with many of the F1 stars of the day competing in the former. It first hosted the Belgian GP in 1973, when famously the track surface broke up and Jackie Stewart survived to won.
