Hungaroring

Budapest

Geographical Information

The Hungaroring is located near Budapest, about 20 km northeast of the city and its Ferihegy International Airport. The facility is located in a natural amphitheater with magnificent surroundings and easy access.

Historical Information

It is a modern complex created specifically for Formula 1. Since it was added to the world championship calendar in 1986, the Hungarian Grand Prix has always been held at the Budapest circuit.

The Hungaroring is very twisty, with only one true straight that includes the start-finish line. It offers the most likely, if not the only, overtaking opportunity. There are 14 turns, six left and eight right, some of which are 180-degree turns.

The track rises and falls and its 4.381 kilometers make it one of the shortest on the calendar, again almost the opposite of Spa, which at seven kilometers is the longest. There are two DRS zones: one on the start-finish straight and the other much shorter on the descent from Turn 1 to 2, with only a detection zone before the entry into the last corner.
