Which Hungaroring grandstand is the grandest?
In this guide we’ll help you choose the perfect grandstand for your Hungarian Grand Prix™ experience.
The Hungaroring is a technical circuit requiring constant steering adjustment and concentration. It is often described as Monaco without walls, but where do you get the best view? Here’s our round-up of the grandstands at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The majority of the grandstands are located around the complex of corners at the end of the lap and along the start / finish straight.

Views from Hungaroring (Previously Super Gold) Grandstand are of the start/finish straight and the pit lane - which is great for seeing the teams’ build-up preparations, and key moments like the start of the race and pit stops. The Hungaroring grandstand is also covered, and with Budapest’s scorching summer heat and occasional heavy downpours, you’re likely to appreciate it!

The other grandstands are also located at various points along the main straight:
The Grid Grandstands runs along the outside of the main straight just after the start line. It’s another great place to see the pre race build up and key moments like the start of the race and pit stops.

Turn 1 (Previously Gold 4) is one I particularly recommend. It’s at the end of the start/finish straight, which is where cars jostle for position as they head into the first corner creating the best overtaking opportunity on the circuit.

The Fan (Previously Silver 5), Apex (Previously Silver 3) & Grand Prix (Previously Silver 4) grandstands look out over the complex of corners in the final section of the track, from Turn 11 to Turn 14. Turn 13 is a great one to watch - it’s a tight left hander and the second slowest corner of the circuit. Turn 14 is also a crucial one as the drivers need a fast exit leading into the circuit’s only straight.
Views are especially good in these grandstands because of the Hungaroring’s natural bowl shape. The grandstands’ elevated positions mean you can see far across the circuit.
