Worth knowing
Watch for
Turn 1, a downhill right-hander after the main straight, is the one corner where passes happen with any regularity. The rest of the lap is so twisty that grid position counts for a lot.
The Iron Curtain
The Grand Prix here in 1986 was the first in Formula 1 held behind the Iron Curtain.
The bowl
The track sits in a natural bowl near Mogyoród, so much of it can be seen from one spot. Straights are short, which rewards a balanced car more than raw power.
