F1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2008 Budapest, August 03

06/16/08 | by admin [mail] 223 views   | Tags: F1, Hungary

The Hungaroring circuit is 19 km from the centre of Budapest, alongside the M3 motorway at the border of the village, Mogyoród. The track is in a natural valley, surrounded by 50 hectares of rolling hillside. With this exceptional natural advantage, almost 80 percent of the racetrack is visible from any point. This is the reason why it is called "The Shallow Plate", it is because the spectators are watching races sitting by the side of an imaginary plate.

At the Grand Opening, the total length of the Hungaroring was 4014 metres. A minor correction was made during 1989, as a result of cutting an S-curve combination, the circuit became faster, giving an extra overtaking opportunity to the drivers. Hence, the full track length was reduced to 3968 metres.

Hungaroring circuit meets the highest technical requirements and has become one of safest racetracks in the world.
