History of the Hungarian Grand Prix

The Hungarian Grand Prix holds a special place in F1 history as the first race to be held behind the then Iron Curtain. The race made its debut in 1986, when Hungary was still under communist rule, as part of Bernie Ecclestone's strategy to expand F1 globally.

The first race was won by Nelson Piquet with a spectacular overtake on Ayrton Senna. In the early years the event attracted huge crowds of 200,000+ spectators from all over Eastern Europe, often their first chance to see Western motorsport.

Hungaroring

The Hungaroring is a 4.381 km long, 14-turn circuit located approximately 20 km northeast of Budapest. This "amphitheatre" layout offers spectators on the surrounding hills excellent views of large parts of the circuit.

The circuit is known for its technical, twisty nature with only one really long straight. The track is relatively narrow by modern F1 standards, with constant corners offering little rest for the drivers.

The circuit is surrounded by campsites and many fans choose this affordable option. In addition, you can easily reach the circuit on foot.

About Budapest

Budapest, often referred to as the “Paris of the East,” is one of Europe’s most characterful capitals. Budapest is known worldwide for its thermal baths, a legacy of both Roman and Turkish occupation. The city has over 120 natural hot springs that feed several historic bathhouses, where locals and tourists come for relaxation, healing, and socializing.

Budapest’s culinary scene has been booming in recent years. Traditional Hungarian dishes such as goulash, chicken paprikash and lángos (fried pasta) are widely available, but the city also has a growing number of modern restaurants, including several with Michelin stars.

The “ruin bars” of the Jewish Quarter are a unique phenomenon: dilapidated courtyards and buildings transformed into eclectic bars and cultural spaces, filled with vintage furniture and artistic decorations.

The nightlife is vibrant, with everything from opera performances in the magnificent Opera House to live music venues and modern clubs along the Danube. Boat trips on the river offer spectacular views of the illuminated monuments along the banks. All this combined with the Formula 1 weekend offers the perfect combination for an F1 city trip to Budapest.
