Moto2 - Balaton Park

The Balaton Park Circuit hosts the Hungarian Moto2 race as part of the 2025 motorcycle Grand Prix. This modern racing venue sits near Lake Balaton, just 85 km southwest of Budapest. The 4.115 km track features 16 corners with 10 left turns and 6 right turns, offering varied challenges for Moto2 competitors. The circuit's 1500-meter straight allows riders to showcase the full potential of their 765cc Triumph engines.

Balaton Park Circuit opened in May 2023 and meets FIA Grade 2 standards with facilities including 48 pit garages, VIP areas, and a media center. The track will undergo specific modifications for motorcycle racing, with changes designed by Loris Capirossi to optimize rider safety and racing action.

The Moto2 class brings technical consistency with standardized Triumph engines producing approximately 140 HP and reaching speeds around 295 km/h. All teams use Pirelli tires and operate under a minimum weight requirement of 217kg for bike and rider combined.

Fifteen teams will compete at Balaton Park, including MT Helmets-MSi with Sergio García and Iván Ortolá, SpeedUp Racing featuring Celestino Vietti and Alonso López, and OnlyFans American Racing Team with Joe Roberts and Marcos Ramírez. The diverse rider lineup represents multiple countries and racing backgrounds.

This event marks the return of Grand Prix motorcycle racing to Hungary after a 33-year absence, with previous races held at the Hungaroring in 1990 and 1992. Balaton Park Circuit represents the highest standard racing facility built in Central Europe in over 15 years.
