Nestled in the rolling hills of Mogyoród, just half an hour north of Budapest, the Hungaroring has become an iconic fixture on the Formula 1 calendar. Since its inaugural Grand Prix in 1986 — the first Formula 1 race held behind the Iron Curtain — the circuit has been celebrated for its unique combination of tight, twisty turns and relatively short straights. This natural amphitheater layout demands both precision and bravery from drivers, as well as quite a bit of improvisation when it rains.

Over the past four decades, the track has undergone a number of upgrades related to safety, serviceability, and appearance. Yet this circuit, part of a field that was once defined by wacky design, remains a narrow, twisty track that demands everything of the driver; grip is at a premium and patience is a necessity. The venue hosts a diverse program during the year, entertaining with a variety of events such as GT racing, touring car championships, and regional motorsport festivals. Each event takes advantage of the track's preeminence for driver skill being showcased over engine speed, which provides the fans with exciting racing action.

For the fan who wants to relish a 2025-spec Mercedes-powered F1 car, the track's 14 medium-speed corners will allow the car to reach speeds close to 190 mph. Besides F1, the track also hosts the DTM series, a prime example of a spec racing series. On either track day, whether it's F1 or DTM, 70,000 fans will be at the Hungaroring, and some will have traveled from neighboring countries like Austria, Slovakia, and Romania.

The combination of world-class motorsport, a challenging track layout, and modern facilities, along with a surrounding natural landscape, sells the experience of going to the Hungaroring.

100% Authentic Tickets with Buyer Protection

Motorsports at Hungaroring

The Hungarian Grand Prix is the highlight of the Hungaroring's calendar and will take place from August 1-3 in 2025. Practice kicks off the event on August 1, with qualifying the next day. The race itself will take place at a very traditional time of 1:00 PM on August 3, and will be broadcast around the world — if you aren't attending in person, don't miss it on Sky Sports F1 or ESPN. For several decades, the circuit has seen legendary performances from figures like Ayrton Senna, who famously called this track "a laboratory of precision." His skill was evident on this track, where he notched so many "firsts." In the early 2000s, Michael Schumacher cemented his reputation as a master of these technical circuits by winning consistently throughout the decade. In recent years, Lewis Hamilton has been the winningest driver on these demanding confines, whether in scorching dry conditions or in the rain, both of which can equalize setups and elevate the importance of mistake-free driving.

Beyond Formula 1, the circuit hosts GT racing, touring car championships, and regional motorsport festivals, offering fans a rich year-round calendar that emphasizes driver skill over pure engine speed.

About Hungaroring

Hungaroring History

The Hungaroring's inaugural race in 1986 was a landmark event — Formula 1's first Grand Prix behind the Iron Curtain — and established the circuit as a distinctive test of driver precision and car balance. Over the decades the venue has produced memorable performances from top drivers, with multiple eras defined by dominant displays from the likes of Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton. The circuit has been upgraded periodically for safety and serviceability while preserving the narrow, twisty character that makes it a tactical and technical challenge.

Hungaroring Facts and Figures

The track features 14 medium-speed corners where grip is at a premium and drivers must manage both momentum and patience. Modern F1 machinery can approach top speeds near 190 mph on the circuit's short straights. Typical event attendance can reach around 70,000 spectators, many traveling from neighboring countries. The venue's configuration rewards driver skill and tactical choices, which is why various series — F1, DTM, and national championships — favor the Hungaroring as a showcase for driving talent.

Hungaroring Seating Guide

Best seats at Hungaroring

The circuit's unique layout offers two main types of viewing experiences for fans: covered grandstands with a wonderful array of sightlines and hillside areas that provide panoramic views of the entire track. The main grandstand on the start-finish straight offers an unobstructed view of the launch, the crucial first corner, and the pit lane, which makes it the best spot for fans who want an up-close look at choreography happening in real time. Sitting just past Turn 1, the first elevated terrace provides a close-up and thrilling view of the high-speed approach and the all-important braking zone. Turn 4, a sweeping left-hander, is also one of the best viewing spots, allowing fans to watch overtaking choreography play out through the corner. Hillside general-admission viewing areas provide fans with a chance to sit wherever they want; the sightlines are truly spectacular.

Pit Complex (Pit Lane Grandstand): You can hardly expect a more direct view of the pit lane; on race day you'll be right on top of the action, seeing pit stop choreography and hearing team radio.

Turn 1 (Turn 1 Box): This is where first-lap battles and rookie mistakes often occur — an intense place to watch the race unfold.

Turn 4 (Turn 4 Box): A flowing corner that tests aerodynamics and balance, Turn 4 rewards clean lines and provides dramatic on-track moments.

Hungaroring Seating Chart

The seating at the Hungaroring mixes reserved grandstand positions (start-finish/pit complex, Turn 1, Turn 4 and other corner stands) with expansive hillside general-admission zones. Grandstand tickets give fixed sightlines and proximity to amenities; general admission allows flexibility to move and explore different vantage points during the weekend. Hospitality suites and premium packages offer catering and elevated comfort for those seeking a more exclusive experience.

How to get to Hungaroring

Parking at Hungaroring

Taking the shuttle or any form of public transit beats attempting to obtain on-site parking and also eliminates the need to do so, which is better for the environment. For many attendees, relying on shuttles and park-and-ride options makes arrival and departure simpler than navigating congested on-site lots.

Public Transportation to Hungaroring

On the day of the event, a special "Grand Prix Shuttle" takes spectators from Budapest Déli Railway Station straight to the entrance of the Hungaroring every 15 minutes. Timely updates on real‑time arrivals of the shuttle can be found on mobile apps such as Moovit and Google Maps, while the official Hungaroring app can provide your ticket in the form of a QR code, convenient for all your contactless boarding needs. Taking public transit or the shuttle often proves more time-efficient than driving and parking, and is the environmentally friendlier option.
