The Balaton Park Circuit is a new track that’s been opened in Hungary. And could potentially hold an F1 race in the future if they apply for a Grade 1 license. Would you like to see F1 race here instead of the hungaroring?

Hungary has a brand new racetrack the balerton block circuit is open just south of the capital city of Budapest and has been built to what they believe is FIA grade 1 standard which means it could potentially host F1 races in the future however they have only applied for a grade 2 license for now former F1 driver Giancarlo fischikella was amongst the first to try out the new track and was impressed saying it’s a track that flows nicely giving you a great race in feeling the first quarter and the end of the back straight are prime spots for overtakes given the layout would you rather F1 races here or the traditional hungaro ring let us know in the comments

Glad some countries are making efforts to keep some permanent circuits on the calendar
Any circuit that has to have a chicane designed into it is a definite NO from me.
Depends on the width
I want risk, & people driving on the edge. You could probably get away with ANY track, it's tyres that need to change.
The New Track
Turns 1-4 look interesting but hopefully benefits from elevation change (which it looks like it doesnt), Turns 5-10 are exactly the same as the old abu dhabi layout but with maybe a bit sharper angles. That's my first point of scepticism, 12 – 16 look chaotic and not in a good way, doesnt look like you could generate enough speed to go for an overtake before your having to brake for a pretty harsh corner, maybe would again benefit from elevation changes all in all, if this was Tilke designed or if not its very tilke esk, and i just think his designs now sap the energy from a good race track and make it about high budget facilities and scenery at the cost of the layout of the track
never been a fan of hungaroring – it is a drag and has only one spot for overtaking …
I'd prefer this over the small Hungaro ring any time of the day!
both would be ideal but if not possible then make them switch every season, one year hungaroring the other this track
Leave it for MotoGP. Leave the f1 cars and their ability to ruin a track for MotoGP because the downforce leaves bumps on the circuit at the extremely fit for purpose hungaroring.
Too short. The longest section is 900m long.
Worse than hungaroging.
IT'S HOSTING MOTOGP
Only slow curves. Boring.
the new circuit
Both looks very good. I would try it out on a game
And how tf this circuit is in motogp calendar 2026 despite having an f1 style lay out
12- 16 looks a bit weird but otherwise I like it
Man sportscar racing FIA WEC
OFC the new one the old one is like monaco ….
Why not have both?
Anything new that isnt a city layout i'm fine with it
Eu acho o circuito muito bom
it is pretty far away, at least 1-hour drive from Budapest…
This should be the European Grand Prix, so the original Hungaroring can remain the Hungarian Grand Prix!
It should definitely take Hungaroring's place on the calendar. Sorry, I just don't see the point of racing where overtaking is barely possible.
its for MotoGP
Look at little bit too easy
Looks as boring as any other new circuit
Looks like Miamis crippled brother
Look FIA an honest recommendation. If you want more races in the US just built a decent track near a major city.
Corners 7 and 11 are highly suspicious for a new Tamborello Senna crash
We could make them rotational with the Hungaroring, one year this, one year that. It's pretty flat tho, I'd like to see some banking in turn 10 or 4. I like it
This looks like a great track im ngl
Nice track but 12-16 is so bad other than just a normal good f1 track
