GRQ is located in Tynaarlo municipality on N28, approximately 25 km south of Groningen centre (25 minutes) and 15 km north of Assen (15 minutes). Drenthe's capital Assen with TT Circuit is the nearest larger city to the south, and Hoge Veluwe National Park is reached in 150 km south via A28. Pick up your car directly in the arrivals hall - GRQ is small enough that the whole process takes under 15 minutes.
