HUNGARORING CLASSIC (Peter Auto)

Peter Auto return to Budapest for a second visit. In 2017 the grids weren't huge, but everyone who did attend enjoyed the event, especially the saturday evening Danube floating restaurant supper....

Doesn’t appear to be many from the UK making the trip to Budapest, but in case anyone is still prevaricating, there is space in the truck for another small to medium size race car and a limited amount of spares....

Hopefully the grids aren't to small.

Have been watching the previous livestream of the event.

The circuit people are very enthusiastic and helpful, but it’s a long haul from the UK. Not so bad if you’re based in Germany or France, obviously.

Guess the grids will be smaller than last two PA events, but possibly bigger than some other organisers recent meetings!

Start with M ?

Sad fact really.

Even if they were to lose half the entries in they're core series they'd still have more than Masters,and they claim to be the leading promoter.Not anymore I don't think...

Still a great organisation Masters though,F1 the main reason ����

From several competitors words last year it seems there's a lack of grip there. Many soften the suspension settings but not all. What do I know?

It will probably feel similar, but at least no tolls for you! (From here, 350m or 1170m......)

Provisional entry lists just released to competitors, and over 40 cars in 60s, 37 in CER1 and 29 in HTC. That’s more than last visit 2yrs ago. GpC not so good- 9......

Not sure on grip level, Gerard, as not driven a lap there! Do remember the ‘motorway’ from Austria to Budapest being hideously bumpy, and restricted to 80kph for trucks, though.

Not bad at all.Odd decision to have Group C there based on the numbers last time.

Yes, I’m not sure why GpC are going to Hungary, but not to Dijon, for instance. Last time they were at the latter circuit was when the Lola T92/10 was briefly racing. The sound of the Judd V10 on the straight was mind blowing. What an engine......

Maybe the track people wanted it or something maybe.

The Lola sound was just something else.Think there is another one owned and raced occasionally.

All getting very real- just paid the Hungary road tolls on line. Took ages 2 years ago as had to create an account, enter all the info and navigate my way through the site. Fortunately I saved the truck details and routes, so this time just had to reload and pay.... HUF 24651 each way, which sounds a lot until you check the exchange rate. Still a lot though for the bumpiest M'way ever with an 80kph limit....

Just over a week away, so hopefully we’ll be getting a timetable newer that the one issued 6 months ago! Or maybe they got it spot on first time...... No updates on entries, either.

Looking like temps in the mid to 20s and very little chance of rain, but who knows nowadays.

Very odd that no entries put up.I wonder why.

I wonder if they will be livestreaming the event again as it was very good last time?

It’s all very quiet compared with Dijon, where we had update after update....

On the PA website is a layout map for the meeting, and it includes an area marked ‘TV Broadcasting’. https://peterauto.peter.fr/en/hungar...2/hungaroring/

What is not so good to see is the ‘Racing Team Camion parking’ about as far from the paddock as it could be! I remember they suggested that my truck should park there last time, but eventually after some heated discussion it was behind a box....

Appears they are trying to organise a parade of race cars into Budapest for one evening. Would guess Friday or Thursday, but they want the drivers to wear period clothing, so I can see the idea falling very flat..... Goody Revival it isn’t

I did check.....

I’m not racing, but of course have full race kit with me, including a choice of open and closed helmets. Should be in the red car at Monza if all goes to plan and it survives Silverstone....

Getting Sunday night ferry meant few trucks boarding, but loads of cyclists instead! Not your racing cyclists, but very much your all shapes and sizes touring versions. Most shouldn’t have been wearing Lycra!

I guess as Sunday is a quiet freight day the ferries attract Convoi Exceptionnel trucks. There were two Airbus low loaders, I assume with plane wings, taking up the space of four normal trucks, and an even longer flatbed loaded with a full size shrink wrapped helicopter! It only just got got through the opening.....

Now in East France ready to cross into Germany tomorrow morn. Did 700km in 8hrs 20min. Don’t think that’s possible anywhere else in Europe!
