Since 1986

In 1986, it became the location of the first Formula One Grand Prix behind the Iron Curtain. Bernie Ecclestone wanted a race in the USSR, and a Hungarian friend recommended Budapest. They wanted a street circuit similar to the Circuit de Monaco to be built in the Népliget – Budapest’s largest park – but the government decided to build a new circuit just outside the city near a major highway.

Quotes of drivers about track:

• Shane van Gisbergen: “What a crazy track. It’s really cool. It’s going to be hard work, 250km, limited passing… it’s going to be all about qualifying.”
• Scott McLaughlin: “It’s full on […] It’s so technical. You’ve got to try and work out one corner, you’re sacrificing one corner to help you regain in three corners time. It’s really bumpy too in places. It has everything a driver wants.”
