About the Circuit
Set in a natural amphitheatre valley near Budapest, the Hungaroring is a tight, twisty circuit often compared to Monaco without the walls. Overtaking is extremely difficult on the narrow track, placing enormous importance on qualifying. The summer heat in the valley creates sauna-like conditions, testing driver endurance. High downforce setups are essential for the many slow corners.
