Lake Balaton - circuit information
The project has cost 200 million Euros and is set to offer some spectacular racing. The spectator capacity will be up to 140,000. Lake Balaton itself is a tourist hotspot, so there's plenty to do when you're not at the track. The largest lake in central Europe, three major resorts are situated there, each offering something different, whether culture, nightlife or local wineries. The best beaches are artificial, but swimming, bathing, fishing, sailing and other watersports keep everyone entertained throughout the day. As the first MotoGP race here, it's not to be missed!
The Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme — A.K.A the FIM — has recently unveiled the provisional calendar for the 2009 MotoGp World Championship Series.
Two changes of note to the schedule include a new race to be held at the Balatonring circuit in Hungary and the exclusion of the Grand Prix of China. The schedule, as has been typical, will include 18 races. The 2009 season will launch on April 12 in Qatar and conclude on November 8 in Valencia, Spain.
