Hungary’s Balaton Park will host both World Superbikes and MotoGP over a one-month period next year, marking the country’s return to top-tier motorcycle racing for the first time in over three decades.
Balaton Park Circuit is a 2.5-mile circuit in western Hungary owned by one-time F1 practice session starter Chanoch Nissany. Far from being a repurposed airfield as so many other tracks start out, the circuit first broke ground in 2013 and was built with tourism and business in mind. Situated on the edge of Balaton Lake – the largest lake in central Europe and itself a popular tourist destination – the track is currently building a hotel on the final corners, from the roof of which almost the entire circuit will be visible.
