Modifications at two corners have shortened the Assen TT circuit, in the Netherlands, from 3.74 to 3.72 miles, and improvements to several grandstands have also been completed in preparation for the 75th Gauloises Dutch TT June 23-25. De Bult and Ruskenhoek corners have been altered, according to sources in Europe, and plans call for the circuit to be shortened even further after the 2005 World Superbike event at the historic circuit. A host of improvements have been made to the Winterdijk, Stekkenwal and main straightaway grandstands to improve the sight lines and overall experience of spectators. The brand new “floating” finish line grandstand will offer fans in its top row a panoramic view of the entire track, according to the circuit’s official website. Every grandstand will also have a large-screen, jumbotron-style monitor so fans can follow the action all the way around the long circuit.
