Official Performance Partner
Fuelled by Passion. Driven by Performance.

In January 2026, ITQ became the Official Performance Partner of MP Motorsport, one of Europe's leading single seater teams.

Motorsport is measured in milliseconds. Enterprise IT is measured in uptime. Different worlds, built on the same principles: preparation, precision, and people performing at their best.

This isn't a logo on a car. It's a partnership built around performance. And this weekend, at the very last Formula 1 Grand Prix ever held at Zandvoort, you'll see it in action.

The Track

Circuit Zandvoort

On the North Sea coast, Zandvoort is one of Formula 1's great old school circuits, narrow, fast and threaded through the sand dunes. Two steeply banked corners make it unlike anywhere else on the calendar.

At 4.259 km with 14 corners, it flows like a rollercoaster. The banking lets the cars carry huge speed and run side by side onto the main straight.

2026 is the finale. After six years back on the calendar, this is the last ever Formula 1 race at Zandvoort. Expect an orange sea and an electric home crowd.

Circuit Zandvoort layout

Banking like nowhere else.

Zandvoort's final corner is banked at up to 18 degrees, a wall of track that slings the cars flat out onto the main straight. Together with the banked Hugenholtz at Turn 3, it's the only circuit of its kind in Formula 1.

The Series

F1

Formula 1

The pinnacle. The Dutch Grand Prix is round 14 of the 2026 season, and Zandvoort's farewell. A Sprint weekend, so there's a short Sprint on Saturday and the 72 lap Grand Prix on Sunday.

FA

F1 Academy

The all female single seater series, created by Formula 1 in 2023. Fifteen drivers backed by F1 teams, all chasing the step up. MP runs three of them, and Nina Gademan won here in 2025.

SP

The Sprint Weekend

A twist on the normal format. Qualifying for Sunday's race moves to Saturday afternoon, and a separate 24 lap Sprint on Saturday scores its own points. More racing across the weekend.
