ORANJESTAD- In a press release issued to the media, a raceway at Zeelandia has been identified for official use under the administration of Island Commissioners Simmons and Schmidt.

For many years, bikers have been using this very road for racing. However, it was never made official.

An alternative route to Zeelandia’s for residents and others has been identified. This road will be used mainly when the raceway is being occupied.

Togetherness 

“Motor sports makes a big contribution to a country’s sense of community by promoting a sense of social togetherness, and the direct economic contribution to the sport also has a spin off’ effect on other industries, such as our hospitality sector, food & beverage, car rentals and many other”, says Commissioner Simmons.
