Do you feel the need for speed?

If you are a petrol head, you can't miss this Rotterdam racing festival!

Tickets can be purchased on the City Racing Rotterdam website. If you're relatively early, the best spots along Coolsingel or Hofplein are still available for free. To stay in the Formula 1 mood, the Harbour Club Rotterdam hosts the official After Race Party on Sunday evening. The Dutch television station RTL5 also dedicates a show to the City Racing Rotterdam event on Sunday evening.
