The Hungaroring, that will host in early August the 40th Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix, revealed its extensive infrastructure overhaul at a press event Thursday.
The iconic circuit has undergone a dramatic transformation to modernize its facilities, ensuring its place on the F1 calendar through 2032.
The revamped paddock building, essentially rebuilt from scratch, now boasts 40 garages, a catering and VIP area, administrative offices, a rooftop terrace, and enhanced storage.
The main grandstand, accommodating 10,000 spectators, features a new terrace and upgraded commentator booths. Two tunnels now connect the paddock to the grandstand, improving accessibility.
While the exterior is complete, interior work, including a new media center, will wrap up by April 2026.

Hungaroring CEO Zsolt Gyulay called the upgrades “an uplifting sight,” emphasizing the modern pit building’s ability to meet motorsport and conference needs.
“The goal was to replace the outdated infrastructure with a modern, efficiently operated pit building that meets all professional requirements of motorsport,” Gyulay told motorsportol.hu.
Hungarian State Secretary for Sport Adam Schmidt highlighted the event’s economic impact, noting last year’s 300,000 attendees—80% international—generated over €64 million for the economy.
“Every forint invested by the government into the Hungaroring has returned more than one and a half times its value to the Hungarian economy,” he stated.
The renovations, mandated by a 2023 contract extension, cement the Hungaroring’s status as a popular F1 venue, blending history with cutting-edge facilities for fans and teams alike.
