R3E - What's happening in the Racing Club this week? 17.8 - 23.8.2015

[Paul Jeffrey]

This week we will do our racing in RaceRoom Racing Experience on the hot, twisty confines of the Hungaroring Circuit in Budapest, Hungary.

The Hungaroring is a motor-racing circuit in Mogyoród, Hungary where the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix is held. In 1986 it became the location of the first Formula One Grand Prix behind the Iron Curtain. Construction works started on October 1, 1985. It was built in eight months, less time than any other Formula One circuit. The first race was held on March 24, 1986, in memory of János Drapál, the first Hungarian who won motorcycle Grand Prix races.
According to a survey put together by the national tourism office of Hungary, Mogyoród ranks third among Hungarian destinations visited by tourists, behind the Danube Bend area and Lake Balaton, but ahead of Budapest. The circuit has FIA Grade 1 license
