Balaton Park 🌠is five months away from making its debut in the MotoGP World Championship, and it is still awaiting FIM homologation.

The Hungarian Grand Prix is set for the weekend of 22–24 August at the 4.115km (2.557-mile) circuit located in the west of the countr🔴y; the second round of the first o𒁏f four post-summer-break back-to-back sequences with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring taking place a week beforehand on 15–17 August.

Around one month before that, it’s due to debut on the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike calendar on 25–27 July, t𓆉he final round before the production derivative series heads into a five-week summer break.

According to FIM President Jorge Viegas, work at Bꦕalaton Park is ongoing in order to obtain homologation.

“The route and the safety requir⛎ements will be the same,” FIM President Jorge Viegas said, .

“The homologation is done for MotoGP, so💎 it's also good for Superbi♔kes.

“Tome Alfonso, who is our safety officer, is closely following the renovation♌ work in Balaton and Brno, both of which are ongoing.”

MotoGP Safety Officer Tome Alfonso told Speedweek that the work ongoing at Balaton is expected to ꧙be finished by mid-June.

“The last FIM inspection visit🌄 to the Balaton Circuit took place on 13 🎶February,” Alfonso said.

“Work on the route is underway and is in line with the work p💝lan we received in November, which was reviewed during the visit.

“The work is on schedule, meets the requirements of the FIM and, weather permitting, should be completed by mid𝐆-Juꦉne.”
