Hungary last played host to a motorcycle Grand Prix back in 1992, when Eddie Lawson took victory... i remember that

saw that
 
New Track Layout

Looks like it has a decent mixture of fast and slow corners as well as some long straights.
Lots of hard braking too.
Gotta be better than the Hungaroring.
 
Great for the nighttime activities as well.
I've heard the girls there are out out of this world.

Does anyone remember why Brazil was taken off the calendar?

If i remember the safety issues were not being addressed and the contract was up.

Nelson Piquet is also slated for destruction because the Brazilian government thinks it can make more money with an Olympic venue.

From the looks of the gravel traps the new circuit is going to be run counterclockwise. Atypical for a European circuit.
 
Yeah, I am really happy to have a MotoGP-weekend in the country. However ~1 year is maybe a bit tight to build a nice circuit, hope they can handle it. It is nice that it's close to the lake Balaton and they did not chose an area somewhere around the capital again. I am quite sure if Talmacsi and the Team Toth continues their successes next year in the 250 class, the crowd will not miss the event. I think the spectators will come from our neighbors as well, especially which country has a racer in one of the classes: Rumania, Czech Republic, Austria etc.
And the girls are quite attractive for sure.

Looks like another flat as a pancake track. Wish we had more tracks like Laguna......I think elevation adds to a more entertaining race. Nice layout though.

ahhh you beat me to that post man, I was thinking the same thing....
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Austin @ Jul 24 2008, 08:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Looks like a fantastic layout.

I agree. From the looks of it, they may actually be using the track to control the risks to the riders, rather than using the rulebook.

Bravo, Ezy.

There is hope for you yet. Bring back the 990s and I will be off your case

Nice layout, kinda Miller Park without the desert. You do not need too much elevation for a great race venue.

I'm not sure about that... Laguna is not very wide for passing.

Obviously after that race on Sunday no one is gonna say nothing... this time.
 
i like the layout too!
hopefully it will be great as it looks like
 
Oh, dear - another flat stadium circuit. Can't anybody build a decent new circuit? The first corner looks a recipe for disaster on the first lap, and looks dangerous if there is a high speed off at the end of the straight and the bike takes off - it could bounce onto the track behind.
