Hungarian Grand Prix Info
The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held on June 21, 1936 over a 3.1-mile (5.0 km) track laid out in Népliget, a park in Budapest. Now Hungarian Grand Prix is held at The Hungaroring. It is a
Formula 1 racing circuit in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary.
Hungarian Grund Prix
The Hungaroring is built 12 miles north east of Budapest, and is set in a natural Amphitheatre, as the track starts on one side, goes down into a valley before going down the far side, then turning and coming back in the opposite direction. Overtaking is virtually impossible here, as the track is narrow, with many slow corners.
The track also has a curve named after Nigel Mansell.The circuit is generally dusty due to underuse throughout the season and being built on sandy soil. The track’s being in a natural valley explains that about 80 percent of the racetrack is visible from any point The Hungaroring opened in 1986 and it held its first Formula One event in August that year. It was a huge success and almost 200,000 fans showed up.
According to statements and interviews, drivers have different opinions on the track. While many like Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher, and Fernando Alonso claimed to love it, many others consider the track, and the Hungarian Grand Prix too slow, hot and demanding.
Although tight and twisty, the circuit has been known to throw up some great races, the most memorable being Thierry Boutsen’s win in 1990, beating Ayrton Senna by 0.3 seconds, and of course the 1997 race where Damon Hill in the Arrows sensationally passed Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari only to be denied the win by mechanical failure on the very last lap.
