Questions about Grandstands / General Admission Area
What is the difference between "general admission area" and "grandstands"?
Grandstands are located around the circuit at ideal positions, providing you with the best view of the race. From every grandstand you can also watch one or more video screens. Grandstands offer numbered seats, and the Super Gold Grandstand is even covered.
The general admission area basically consists of the lawn surrounding the racetrack. You can either stand or sit in this area wherever you wish, yet this usually provides you with only a limited view of the circuit and the video screens. You may not take folding chairs with you into the racetrack area. Nor does the general admission area provide any shelter in the event of inclement weather.

Which days are included in a "weekend ticket"?
A weekend ticket entitles you to entry on each of the days of the race, that is, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

At the Hungaroring there is no special wheelchair-accessible grandstand.

Please write a short note during your order in the comments field if you book for a wheelchair user.
