Known worldwide as “The Cathedral of Speed,” TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands holds a sacred place in MotoGP history. Hosting Grand Prix motorcycle races since 1949, it’s the only track to have featured on the calendar every year until the COVID-19 disruption in 2020. Assen is beloved for its fast, flowing layout, narrow tarmac, and grandstands packed with passionate Dutch fans who bring an electric energy to every event. The track’s rhythm demands precision, bravery, and unshakable focus as riders lean deep into sweeping bends and blast through the iconic final chicane. The circuit has seen generations of MotoGP greats make history — from Valentino Rossi’s unforgettable 2007 battle to Casey Stoner’s masterclass in changing conditions. Whether under the bright summer sun or amidst unpredictable northern European weather, Assen delivers breathtaking moments on two wheels. Our artwork captures the flow and energy of this legendary venue with every curve and kink, immortalizing its place as a cornerstone of motorcycle racing’s legacy.

Known as the oldest track in the MotoGP world championship calendar, Assen began life as a street circuit in 1925. It transitioned to a permanent circuit in 1955 and has since become one of the most prestigious venues in motorsport. It’s located in the northeastern province of Drenthe and remains a cornerstone of Dutch motorsport culture.
