Hungaroring Circuit Details

Location: Mogyoród, Hungaroring, Hungary

First F1 race: 1986

Track Length: 4.381 km

Track Laps: 70

Track Turns: 14

Unique Features: Known as the ‘Monaco without walls’ due to its tight twisty layout. It famously hosted the first Formula 1 race ever held behind the Iron Curtain.

The Hungaroring is located at Mogyoród Hungary, which is just outside of Budapest and has been the home of the Hungarian Grand Prix since its inaugural race in 1986. The race was originally planned to be a street race in the centre of Budapest before authorities deemed it too complicated, leading to the creation of the Hungaroring, a project that was completed in just 8 months.

The development of the track came at a time where Bernie Ecclestone wanted to expand the sport by breaking into new markets with Eastern Europe at the top of this list. This led to the development of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Hungaroing is a highly technical track with limited opportunities to overtake, which has given the track the nickname ‘The Monaco without walls’. The race certainly caters to drivers who excel at technical tracks with drivers such as Michael Schumacher, Max Verstappen and most notably Lewis Hamilton having plenty of success on the track.

The circuit also offers excellent track visibility due to its natural, open terrain, this allows spectators to secure fantastic panoramic views of the action. Combined with the natural beauty of its surroundings, it’s a top venue for trackside viewing with general admission, grandstand and hospitality areas all providing standout sightlines.

How to Get to the Hungaroring Circuit

The Hungaroring is located about 20 km northeast of Budapest in Mogyoród. Public transport improves greatly during the Grand Prix weekend, but roads are busy; planning ahead is essential.

By Train: Spectators take the H8 HÉV suburban railway from the city (starting at Örs vezér tere station) to Kerepes station. This is the first leg of the most reliable public transport route.

By Bus: Free official shuttle buses run from Kerepes HÉV station directly to Gate 3 of the circuit for ticket holders. A separate, paid "City Shuttle" service may also run from Budapest's central Heroes' Square. Older services from Árpád híd were discontinued and should not be relied upon.

By Car: Access the circuit via the M3 motorway (vignette required). General parking for ticket holders is usually free, but premium parking needs a pass. Expect heavy traffic and arrive early.

By Taxi: Taxis are available, but demand is high and fares increase on race weekend. Főtaxi is the only official partner permitted to use a dedicated VIP lane on the M3 motorway; other ride-shares like Bolt will be stuck in general traffic.
