The TT Circuit Assen is the most famous motorcycle racing circuit in the world and is the only circuit that has been in the MotoGP calendar since 1949. It is also regarded as ‘The Cathedral of Motorcycle Racing.’

The original Assen track was first used for the 1925 Dutch TT race, held on country roads through the villages of Borger, Schoonloo and Grolloo, and organized by the Motorclub Assen en Omstreken.
The brick-paved track had a length of 17.75 miles (28.57 km).
The years afterwards the Dutch TT was held on a road circuit through de Haar, Barteldbocht (near Assen), Oude Tol, Hooghalen, Laaghalen and Laaghalerveen.

The circuit remained unchanged until 1955, when a whole new circuit was built close to the site of the original, but less than a third of the length — and much more like a modern road racing circuit.
The circuit was fundamentally redesigned again in 2006 — the so called A-Style Assen TT Circuit.

All alterations aside, only one section of the circuit is original; the finish line has never been moved!
