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.

Appearing online long after XpatLoop.com this ‘government related’ source states its aim as "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. It continues by acknowledging this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions, sometimes reflected to a degree in the articles they publish” - and so it's really worth readers here keeping that in mind. Another stated aim is to become ‘the leading English-language news portal of Hungary’, a position held for well over 20 years by good old independent XpatLoop! Still our team has no issue with positively highlighting one or two useful articles published by Hungary Today - with their permission - for your interest.
