HUNGARIAN FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX

The cost inside the circuit was astronomical - even by UK standards! Take your own water and food but otherwise a good venue. We had great seats - rigth in front of the start/finish line.

One of you previous customer reviews states that you can see 90% of the track from the red bull stand ! This is a total load of b*****s . Acces to circuit very easy by cab £30.00 but make sure you agree a firm price 1st as the taxi drivers will try and rip you off. Race was also very boaring. I have been to 12 diffrent grand prixs and this is my least favorite although food and drinks very reasonably priced. Would not do this one again and Budapest did not impress me as a city . Great sevice as usual from the guys at book f1

Make sure you bring bug spray! Also, sunscreen, water and snacks, its a long weekend in really hot conditions. Try to find out if guests in your hotel are also travelling to the circuit, can split taxi costs.

Tickets in gold 2 were fantastic value for money especially as hot them on reduced rates last year. Book f1.com very good supplier snd answered emails about queries promptly. Tickets delivered about week and half before race. Definately reccommend bookf1.com again. Budapest beautiful alson

Absolutely fantastic. Superbly run. Food safe. Toilets clean. Staff pleasant. Atmosphere exciting - no threat. Professional and organised. Definitely do it all again. Expensive inside venue but no surprises.

Seats had a fantastic view and loads of tarmac - more than I think I've had in over 20 years F1. And good value too - far better tah Super Gold where I went 3 years ago and paid top dollar. Don't tell your customers how good it is as you may sell out if I decide to go back to Hungaoring in future!

Excellent comms with ticket agent.....gave good advice and tips for the weekend....kept us up to date via emails....tickets arrived in good time and all our emails were promptly replied to...would def use this agent in future !!!!!

The people were friendly and relaxed, but the revised pricing of everything seemed excessive. A fixed taxi price of 9,900 Florint (about £33) was at the extreme. The F1 Village was far smaller than an Silverstone, and seemed poor by comparison. The race itself was very good, with excellent seats in Gold 4.

I sat in gold 4 on frist corner. it was fantastic. I have been to spa 2001, silverstone 2004 and of course hungaroring 2009, heading back this year 2010 this time to the Red Bull stand so looking forward to a different view of start/finish straight. Budapest is a brilliant city, i will be looking forward to another bowl of goulash...yum! I got free bus in on the friday and was ok but walk up hill to circut was tiresome due to heat, but cant complain too much, taxi end the rest of the days which was brilliant as they use the VIP road in and takes you to the door of the circuit.
got onto circuit after race and had brilliant photos of cars, pit garages etc. Village was fantastic, and not too expensive. facilities where very good, loos, food and drink. i recommend everyone how wants to go to F1 race to consider hungary, just brilliant. (i noted in 2009 that there where some empty seating in grandstands on race day. I would think that these will be filled this year as Schumi is now back behind the wheel. I seen him race in spa 2001 and I have to say that he was unbelievable to watch. I know he is struggle this year but he is still a thrill to view.)
See you all there in 2010......Yeehaaaaa.

Book F1.com was very helpful with my enquiries and our tickets arrived as stated. Our first F1 and was very impressed by the whole weekend. The open pit lane on Thursday night was very busy but we all got to see most things. Friday and Saturday were quiter and we spend more time looking around. Sunday had a really good atmosphere and after the race the track was opened and it was quite a sight to see thousand of people pour onto the track. Only down side was the free bus from budapest which although always ran on time, the bus stop was in the village next to the track and you have approx 1 mile walk up a hill in the heat, bit of a shock the first time but we did get use to it. Although our entrance gate was gate 6 (top of hill) we always showed our pass at the main gate and walked to our seats from there which was much easier.
We bought hats and tshirts at the tracks f1 village which were cheaper than outside on the stalls.

1 Had a lovely time.
2 Received ticket's almost 2 week's before race.
3 Free parking (arrive early)
4 General admission you can get a good view behind gold 3 ( strip of grass)
5 Take plenty of drink's can get VERY HOT.
6 Don't take chairs or big cooler box.
7 Take a blanket for general admission(can get very dusty)
8 Looking forward to go next year.

The circuit is easy to get to by public transport. From the centre of Budapest take the Red Metro 2 to Ors vezer tere and then switch to the mainline HEV train. Both journies take about 20 mins and cost less than £4 return. Hop off at the Szilasliget station snd the circuit is just over 1 mile from the station. The walk is mostly uphill on a rough road, but taxis are available for a fewe pounds.

Would definitely consider going again.

Good view of start finish line and the Ferrari pit garage, great to see them setting up but a much better view would be at the end of the pit straight before the first corner or at the end of another straight so you can see them coming. Hired Kangaroo TV which was great to hear the commentary (5 live) but the screen is small and difficult to see in the sunlight, €90 for Sunday race a but much though, this was for 2 headphones - which worked well as ear defenders too - splitter and the handset.

What a fantastic circuit!! An amazing city!! Friendly and helpful fans!! This was my first Grand Prix and I'm so glad we chose this particular one at Hungaroring. The views from where we were seated in Silver 2 (right opposite the big screen) were stunning across to the hills. The view of the track was excellent too, the facilities were top class with clean toilets, ample loo paper, a good variety of food (albeit the price jumped 100% from Saturday to Sunday on many stands (grrrrr). Getting to the track was free via local transport, but oh my goodness what a hike from the drop-off to the Grandstand! 2.5kms going one way (clockwise) round the track through fields and pebbly dirt tracks, and 2.8 going the other way (anti-clockwise) on a tar road with concrete pavements up the steepest hill! Thank goodness I'd lost a stone and a half before going, otherwise I'm sure I would have collapsed half-way!

We even got a wave from Lewis when he spotted our flag in amongst masses of Ferrari supporters as they did the Drivers Parade, and we had the best time with the Ferrari guys, joking and teasing each other.

Litter pickers were out in force and I saw very little evidence of rubbish, there was a good atmosphere at all times, no fights, no drunken rowdiness, just everyone having a good time.

BookF1.com have resolved the problem I had with radio equipment - absolutely 1st class service - less than 6 hours after I left feedback about it, so here's a huge thank you for that, and I shall definitely be back!

Overall it was a very unique experience. The only thing that was not as expected is the difficulty of getting to the track and the inability of security staff to guide you to the right location. One guard told us that we were 2km away from the bus stop and that our only option was to walk there (an announcement that needless to left us with our jaws dropping and desperate to just find a means to go to Budapest) where in fact we were only a few meters from the stop.

My only comment would be that over half the stands were empty. Given the credit crunch why did they not reduce the stand ticket prices and full the stands up? General Admission was £130, my view is that General Admission should be £90, and the stand tickets (silver and bronze) should be about £180. Would make for a better event. No point having all the good viewing spots empty and the General Admission people watching the race through 2 fences and some trees. It seemed like Bernie had made a special effort to make the General Admission viewing spots as bad as possible.

Great venue, great race ! The seats are on the small side though. And I wonder why the buses from the city are not going all the way up to the circuit entrance.

I'd like to take this oppourtunity to thank BookF1 for your great service and tirelss assistance with my GP ticket booking.
My enquiry and booking was dealt with in a very timely and professional fashion and your client communication is spot on.

Thanks very much for everything - A brilliant weekend was had!

I have recently been to the Nurburgring f1 this year, and the Hungaroring is by far much better, its facilities are good, lots of places to buy food and drinks, the F1 village is excellent, and the opertunity to walk around the outside of the track is good! Also at the end invading the race track, and watching steve rider and martin brundle commentate! Excellent, also met some scots supporting DC great fun, pols, and fins are great sports aswell, plus you cant beat the weather is brilliant. We stayed in the Marco polo hostel just in the Buda part of the city got a taxi to the circuit every morning that was about £40 english, then after got the bus back and walked through town back to our hostel. Best Grandprix for me so far!

Had a great time at the Hungaroring last year even though it was extremely hot esp on quali day! Sat in the redbull stand and had great views of 90% of the track! Fantastic atmosphere with all the Kubica fans, makes a change from the Tifosi lol!!
Was pretty easy to get to the ciruit and great the organisers threw on a free bus from Budapest ;-) The f1 village was super with lots of interactive stuff going on. We took our own food and drink but did purcahes the odd ice cream to cool us down!
Loved invading the track at the end.
Loved the Hungaroring so much we are going back again this year and sitting in the redbull stand again

see ya there
