Hungaroring boss Zsolt Gyulay said that the facilities of the circuit in Mogvorod, where the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix is held, will be upgraded with a new entrance, headquarters and customer area along with the upgrading of the water and electricity networks.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as the circuit reveals that race day tickets for 2023 event, the 38th since Hungary joined the schedule in 1986, have already sold-out.<\/p>\n

Gyulay said he first step in the circuit’s so-called strategic development programme will be to upgrade the utilities, with a new entrance, headquarters and customer area which will “reflect the high standard of the facility” along with the upgrading of the water and electricity networks.<\/p>\n

“I took over the management of Hungaroring in 2010 and we have been waiting for this moment practically since then,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Of course, we did not rest on our laurels. Our track has undergone a number of renovations, we have worked continuously to meet the new safety requirements, we have built a debris fence, we have maintained the grandstands and in 2016 we resurfaced the entire track line, or more precisely, we replaced the top, so-called wearing course.<\/p>\n

“However, looking at the happenings in Formula 1 and the new tracks that are coming in, this could not be enough, and it really is the last moment to start work.<\/p>\n

“We can see that among the many “one-size-fits-all” tracks there is an increasing value for traditional venues like the Hungarian one, and the proximity of Budapest will always be an incredible attraction for the Hungaroring<\/p>\n

“Yet, we should not overlook that the infrastructure of the new circuits grants a much higher level of service than ours.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to the strategic development programme, we will be able to compete with them in reasonable time, which will allow us to keep the Formula 1 series here and thus draw attention to our country and our beautiful capital year after year.<\/p>\n

“The interest in Formula 1 is amazing, it is a great pleasure for the Hungaroring that the weekend and Sunday tickets have been sold at such a pace, because it shows that not only the drivers, but also the fans love our track.<\/p>\n

“The numbers for the 2022 (race) proved it: on Sunday 100,000 spectators watched the action on-site (290,000 fans over the four days), and the Hugaroring was sold out already in April. Now that date has been brought forward to December.”<\/p>\n

The circuit’s current contract runs until, and including, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
