| Circuit Details |
The Hungaroring was built in the mid-Eighties to host the first grand prix to take place in the Eastern bloc. The inaugural race in 1986 was a massive success after over 100,000 people turned up to watch a battle of the Brazilians after Nelson Piquet put in one of his great drives to defeat Ayrton Senna.
Despite its twisty layout Hungary has produced some fantastic grand prix racing over the years. The 1989 race produced one of Nigel Mansell's finest ever drives, when he won from 12th on the grid, memorably taking the lead by jinking past Senna as they came up to lap Stefan Johannsson.
Damon Hill was another Brit who enjoyed some great results in Hungary. He took his first win at the track in 1993 and won again in '95. Hill almost made it a famous hat-trick in 1997 when he came within a lap of winning Arrows' first grand prix. He had dominated the and was on course for a famous win until his gearbox hydraulics packed up, presenting victory to Jacques Villeneuve.
