The entire range of motorsports has been present on the circuit, and some of them still are. The highlights were the multiple Formula 1 Grand Prix that have been held. In the late 1960 s, Belgian and World Championships Cycling have already been organised at Circuit Zolder. So you can see that close to the automotive part there is a cyclingunit at our Race-Track. Since 2008 Circuit Zolder has founded a new BMX club named after the racetrack. Since the sport has been recognized by the Olympic Committee it has been booming in Europe. Our track the Lotto BMX-track is 400 m long and is equipped with a pro-section (since 2010) and on our largest corners, there will be a new layer of tarmac for this event. After only 2 years we already are the biggest club in Belgium with 140 members.

Heusden-Zolder was the result of the merger of the two former municipalities of Heusden and Zolder in During the 1960 s Belgian coal mines faced an enormous shortage of employees. To address this problem, foreign laborers were encouraged to immigrate and work near the mines. In 1992 the last mine in the BENELUX located at Zolder closed his doors.
