Assen
Motorcycle circuit / Car circuit
Assen’s TT tradition reaches back to 1925, when racing took place on public roads. A purpose-built Dutch TT circuit followed in 1955, while the major 2006 reconstruction substantially shortened its northern section. Today the 4,542-metre motorcycle championship lap combines quick, flowing sequences with the distinctive final chicane in front of the stands. MotoGP and WorldSBK shape its reputation, but cars also use the venue. Participation programmes are separate: CRT works with riders’ own motorcycles and experience-based groups, while PureDriving offers own-car trackdays and supplied cup-car experiences. The requested group tour remains a different visitor channel. The Junior Track is not the main circuit, and a race ticket is not a driving booking.

Treat each area separately: vehicle groups, access and length can differ.
2026 WorldSBK confirms 4542 m. PureDriving gives 4555 m without a verified explanation of the difference here, so driving products are not automatically assigned to this championship configuration.
The first Dutch TT uses public roads between Rolde, Borger and Schoonloo. That road circuit measures 28.4 kilometres.
A new permanent circuit hosts the 25th Dutch TT: 7.7 kilometres entirely within Assen. Sidecars join the programme.
The roughly six-kilometre lap gives way to a substantially shorter layout. WorldSBK races on 4.555 kilometres in 2006, still distinct from today’s 4.542-kilometre lap.
Changes at Ruskenhoek remove 13 metres, bringing the lap to 4.542 kilometres. This is the configuration shown in our plan.
Valentino Rossi wins the Dutch TT after a race-long battle with Marc Márquez. Its dramatic conclusion becomes one of the modern Assen circuit’s memorable MotoGP moments.
Jack Miller wins the restarted, twelve-lap wet race ahead of Marc Márquez and Scott Redding. It is the Australian’s first victory in the MotoGP class.
