Topic: 1986 Hungarian Grand Prix


  
  Hungarian Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held on June 21, 1936 over a 3.1-mile track laid out in Nepliget, a park near the center of Budapest.
However, politics and the ensuing war meant the end of Grand Prix motor racing in the country for fifty years.
Other notable occasions in Budapest include first Grand Prix wins for Damon Hill in 1993, Fernando Alonso (in 2003), the first Grand Prix winner from Spain, who also became the youngest ever driver to win a GP and Jenson Button in an incident-packed race in 2006.
