Balaton Park Circuit is the newest venue on the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship Calendar. The state-of-the-art facility was finished in May 2023, giving a fresh look to racing in Hungary. Situated a mere 2 kilometres from the scenic Lake Balaton, its seven right-hand, and ten left-hand corners comprise a unique layout which has riders and fans highly anticipating the circuit’s maiden round.
While this will be the debut season at Balaton Park Circuit, Hungary’s Hungaroring hosted a total of six WorldSBK races from 1988-1990. Across that period, American rider Fred Merkel made Hungary his home, winning four of the six races held across the three seasons.
