Hungaroring Circuit - Information​

The Hungaroring, built in 1985, was ready for racing in just nine months. Initially, the Hungarian government considered reviving the old Nepliget park circuit in Budapest for Formula 1, but ultimately decided to create a purpose-built facility.

The first Grand Prix at the Hungaroring took place in 1986, with Nelson Piquet winning the race after a memorable overtake on Ayrton Senna.

The circuit is often compared to a karting track due to its lack of straights and series of corners. Teams use high levels of downforce similar to Monaco, and a well-sorted chassis is crucial for success. Drivers enjoy the challenge of finding a good rhythm to set fast lap times.

Visiting the Hungaroring in July means hot weather, but there's a nearby water park, the Mogyorodi Aquarena, to cool off. The circuit is also just 20km from Budapest, offering access to one of Europe's most vibrant city centers.

For the best viewing experience, the grandstands on or around the main straight provide views of multiple parts of the track, thanks to the natural bowl-like setting, similar to the UK's Brands Hatch.
