Horsepower, wheel-to-wheel battles, determined drivers, and spectacular on-track action. The headliner is one of the continent’s most prestigious GT series, the International GT Open, while the support races promise plenty of excitement as well. This year, the international field returns on July 4–5 to the Hungaroring, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026. To mark the occasion, the circuit will host a variety of colourful and engaging side events worthy of a world-class motorsport spectacle.
Fans can cheer on their favourites from the grandstands, but those eager to step behind the scenes and admire the several-hundred-horsepower race cars up close will not be disappointed either – with a paddock pass, this exclusive experience becomes part of the weekend.
Anyone who has attended such a race before knows what to expect; for newcomers, it is an experience not to be missed. For years, the Hungaroring has been an essential stop on the International GT Open calendar. The drivers know and love this iconic race track, and each year the very best of the GT3 category lines up on the grid: Audis, BMWs, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Mercedes-AMGs, and Porsches. This remarkable technical diversity alone guarantees breathtaking battles.
Last year, the weekend was given a special flavor by the presence of Levente Révész – who later went on to claim the championship title – competing on home soil. We hope that the young driver will once again be on the starting grid this year, to the great delight of Hungarian fans.
Fans of single-seater racing series will not be left without action either: the Euroformula Open returns, joined by the renewed Formula Regional European Championship, as well as the British GB3 Championship. All three series showcase a wide range of young talents; the latter is particularly interesting for us, as Martin Molnár will compete there after two seasons in Formula 4. The young driver will race with Rodin Motorsport, the team that has produced the last three champions and also secured the teams’ championship title.
Touring car enthusiasts can also look forward to the return of the TCR Europe, which is sure to deliver intense, hard-fought racing on the Hungaroring’s track.
An exciting, renewed circuit, a world-class field, and the tangible closeness of motorsport – the International GT Open in 2026 will once again be an unmissable event for Hungarian and international motorsport fans alike.
