Hungaroring work progressing faster than planned ahead of 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix

Redevelopment of the Hungaroring is progressing even faster than originally planned ahead of the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix.

With the project to revamp facilities such as the paddock, main building and main grandstand now deep into its second phase – which began last July just one week after the venue hosted the 2024 race – more than 1,000 people are working on site each day.

As a result, work is continuing at an incredible pace and ticket sales for the new sectors of the main grandstand could start as early as Monday, with organisers expecting a full house when Formula 1 rolls back into town for the 40th Hungarian Grand Prix in August.

The construction project is one of the biggest in Hungary and, when complete, will transform the Hungaroring into the country’s largest event venue and sports facility.

The main roof structure has been built over the main grandstand, which is being covered from above while the framework and cladding is installed from below.

Meanwhile, the prefabricated structure of the grandstand itself is fully completed, and almost all stair elements are in place – only the seating needs to be installed.

Structural work on the paddock building was completed at the end of February and basement and first floor paving work is underway, with the remaining two tower blocks (from the original 12) set to be demolished by the end of March.

On the ground floor, there are various stages of completion, with the more advanced stages seeing mechanical and electrical installations, portioning grids and garage doors fully installed.

For the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, the outside of the building will look as if it is completely finished but only the pit garages and the first floor will be used as intended, as per the initial plans, with organisers locating the media centre and race control on a temporary site.

As soon as this year’s Grand Prix is complete, building work will restart before the circuit is fully completed in time for the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix.
