(CNN) Max Verstappen and his adoring Dutch fans will finally have a home grand prix after Formula One announced the Circuit Zandvoort would be returning to the calendar for the first time since 1985.

Starting in 2020, it will be the 31st Dutch Grand Prix as part of a world championship season and will run for at least three years.

In May last year, an exhibition event with Verstappen and other Red Bull drivers at Zandvoort attracted more than 110,000 fans.

"From the beginning of our tenure in Formula 1, we (Liberty Media) said we wanted to race in new venues, while also respecting the sport's historic roots in Europe," said Chase Carey, Formula One's chairman and CEO.

"In recent years, we've seen a resurgence of interest in Formula One in Holland, mainly due to the enthusiastic support for the talented Max Verstappen, as seen from the sea of orange at so many races. No doubt this will be the dominant color in the Zandvoort grandstands next year."
