	Assen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The Assen
		The assen represent the dead but, apart from the exception of kings or important persons, they are not to be assimilated with physical portraits.
		The assen accrele does not infer the personal ancestors of the diviner, but all those who carried out the craft before him, who no longer exist, but whose active presence is expected to lead the consultation, which involves simultaneously diagnostic, the search for a solution and a cry for help, to a successful conclusion.
		The royal assen display this difference and imply that a similar condition to the one on earth is to be found in the beyond.

		It differs from the normal Euro-circuit in that the surface at Assen is crowned to allow water to dissipate from the surface quickly, which can make set-up tricky.
		If a rider makes a mistake it is doubtful he can make up for it later in his lap; worse, if it's a big mistake and may end up in the grass and on his back.

		Although Assen is now a modern purpose-built racetrack, some parts of the circuit still follow the layout of the old Circuit Van Drenthe street circuit, which explains both Assen’s singular layout and its unusually profiled surface.

		Assen has built new pits some years ago, but unfortunately the number of these pits is not very high, so only the top-8-riders in the Championship have the luxury to work out of a pit.
		Driving to the circuit we had the luxury of hardly any traffic at all, but of course we couldn’t help but feeling sorry for the large number of fans having camped overnight in their tents, because their awakening certainly was much harder and damper than ours.
		Since this time in Assen the 250-family was scheduled to have the first race (with the Big Boys following us and the 125s last), we were also scheduled to have the first Warm-up, and even if the downpour had changed to a very slight drizzle, stopping altogether midway through that 20-min.

	Crash.Net MOTOGP: Assen carved up.: Latest Motorsport news, results with radio player
		Work has now begun on the removal of much of Assen's famous North Loop, undertaken to allow 7,000 new car parking places, the creation of a 'TT World' complex and a reduction in track length from 5,997 to roughly 4,750 metres ahead of the 2006 season.
		This reduction in length - which brings Assen in line with most other circuits on the world championship calendar - will mean that the 2006 Dutch TT will be run over 24 laps, five laps more than the 2005 MotoGP event.
		However, Assen are keen to stress that - even when that legendary stretch is gone - the circuit will still be able to boost considerable history in its racing layout, since the start finish section was also built in 1926 and will remain untouched by the developments.
