The Hungarian Grand Prix postponed to spring 2010

As we reported last month, the Hungarian Motorcycle Grand Prix, which was scheduled to take place on September 20 at the Balatonring circuit, has been postponed to spring 2010 due to funding difficulties.

As we reported in February (read), the Hungarian Motorcycle Grand Prix, which was due to take place on September 20 at the Balatonring circuit (read our), has been postponed to spring 2010 due to funding difficulties, said today its Spanish promoter: "the Sedesa group has so far been able to invest only 19.9 million euros out of the 80 million needed for the construction of the circuit", recognized its president Vicente Cotino Escriva.

The Hungarian Minister of Local Authorities, Istvan Gyenesei, had indicated in February that the completion of the site on time seemed compromised due to the delay taken by the Spanish partners. Hungary announced last July that it would host the MotoGP World Championship from 2009, replacing that of Shanghai (China), a first event initially scheduled for September 20..

The Spanish group Sedesa was commissioned to build the 4,650 meters of the Balatonring, near Lake Balaton, in western Hungary. The circuit must then be operated by the Spanish Worldwide Circuit Management (WCM) in association with the Hungarian Tourist Board.
