The Hungaroring, Budapest — the last race before the summer break, 2.5 hours from London
The Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, northeast of Budapest, is one of the most consistent and long-standing fixtures on the Formula 1 calendar — having hosted every season since 1986. Held in late July as traditionally the final race before the summer break, the Hungarian GP carries a particular sense of occasion: the last opportunity before the field disperses for August, and one of the most strategy-driven races of the season, with the Hungaroring's tight and twisty layout making overtaking difficult and putting enormous premium on qualifying position.
For UK-based F1 clients, Budapest is one of the most accessible European GP destinations — approximately 2.5 hours by air from London, with multiple airlines serving Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport from Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton. British Airways operates from Heathrow Terminal 5. Wizz Air — Hungary's national low-cost carrier — from Gatwick and Luton. easyJet from Gatwick. The circuit at Mogyoród is approximately 25 minutes northeast of Budapest city centre, making it easy to base in the city and commute to the circuit throughout the weekend.
Luxelimo provides the London airport transfer that begins the Hungarian GP trip — from your home or hotel in London to Heathrow, Gatwick, or Luton (depending on your airline), and the return collection from the same airport after the race weekend. Most Hungarian GP clients travel Thursday or Friday, arriving in time for the start of the circuit programme. Budapest in late July is warm — 28 to 32°C — making the Hungaroring one of the hotter race weekends on the European calendar.
For private aviation clients, a private jet from Farnborough or Biggin Hill to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport takes approximately 2.5 hours. Budapest's FBO is well-equipped for private aviation arrivals during race week. Luxelimo provides the London landside transfer to the FBO with timing matched to the departure slot, and return collections from Heathrow, Gatwick, or Luton after the commercial return flight.
