Hungaroring’s Major Overhaul to be Completed by 2026

The Hungaroring racetrack in Mogyoród (near Budapest) is undergoing a major renovation, with significant progress already made, reports Világgazdaság.

The main building and grandstands at the finish line have been dismantled, including the Super Gold grandstand, which was used by VIP guests.

A new luxury lodge will replace it for the 2025 race, with tickets for the Super Gold stand set to cost HUF 275,000 (EUR 695).

This development, began immediately after the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix, is part of a larger renovation project costing HUF 105B (EUR 2.6B).

The first phase was completed before this year’s Grand Prix, focusing on the main entrance and adjacent buildings.

The project is expected to be completed by 2026, when the fully renovated Hungaroring will continue to host the Hungarian Grand Prix, maintaining its status as one of the few circuits, alongside Monza, to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix uninterrupted since 1986.

The government has provided guarantees to cover the renovation costs, ensuring the project proceeds as planned.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
