About Hungaroring
Overview
The Hungaroring lies on the edge of Mogyoród in Pest County, between Budapest and Gödöllő, and is reached from the M3 motorway. It has been the home of the Hungarian Grand Prix since 1986 and is the second-oldest circuit in continuous use on the Formula One calendar, after Monza; the contract with Formula One was extended to 2032. The circuit is run by Hungaroring Sport Zrt. Besides Formula One it has staged the World Touring Car Championship and its successor WTCR, the European Truck Racing Championship, DTM, GT World Challenge Europe, the International GT Open and, in 1990 and 1992, the motorcycle Grand Prix, and it holds regular drag racing events, track rental, driving courses and corporate days.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The Grand Prix circuit measures 4.381 km and has 14 turns. It lies in a valley, so that about 80 percent of the lap can be seen from any point around it. The original 1986 layout included a chicane after Turn 3, which was removed in 1989 when a stream there was put into a culvert. In 2003 the main straight was lengthened by about 200 m to 908 m, the hairpin at its end was made tighter and Turn 12 was also tightened, which brought the lap to its current length. The whole surface was relaid in 2016. Lewis Hamilton set a race lap record of 1:16.627 for Mercedes at the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix. The circuit holds FIA Grade 1 and has a capacity of 70,000.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
A driving technique centre on the site, named after Gerhard Berger from 1998 to 2005 and then sponsored by Allianz, offers safety training and off-road courses. The Hungaroring Kart Center can be booked for karting, and the venue also offers driving experiences, guided walking tours of the track and a summer camp. A redevelopment programme began in 2022; its first phase renewed the main entrance and added an operations centre and a cafe, and was completed in May 2024. The 2032 contract extension was tied to a second phase covering the main building and main grandstand, a wider paddock and two pedestrian tunnels under the main straight in place of the old footbridge.
History
Bernie Ecclestone first sought a Grand Prix in the Soviet Union, but a Hungarian contact pointed him to Budapest. The government chose a site just outside the city near a main road rather than the Népliget park, and engineers István Papp and Ferenc Gulácsi drew up the track. Construction began in October 1985 and took about eight months, a record for a Formula One circuit. The track opened on 24 March 1986 with a race in memory of János Drapál, and on 10 August 1986 Nelson Piquet won the first Formula One Grand Prix held behind the Iron Curtain. Nigel Mansell won from 12th on the grid in 1989, Damon Hill came close to winning for Arrows in 1997, and Jenson Button took his first victory, and Honda's, in the rain in 2006. Mansell in 1992 and Michael Schumacher in 2001 clinched world titles here. Esteban Ocon in 2021 and Oscar Piastri in 2024 also scored their first wins here, and the race won the FIA Race of the Year award in 2002.
