Hungaroring seeking funds to resurface track

Hungarian Grand Prix chiefs are hoping to get the funding in place to resurface the Hungaroring track for next year, following complaints from drivers last weekend.

With the circuit having a firm contract in place until 2016, race organizers are willing to spend money upgrading the facilities and circuit – although it will still need some kind of government support if it is going to happen.

Zsolt Gyulay, the president of the Hungaroring, told AUTOSPORT about the resurfacing effort: "I am fighting for this. We have a plan, but it is impossible to do it, so we need some kind of state support. But the resurfacing is the minimum we would like to achieve. There are plans for some big improvements in the next two years that will show people how important motorsport is in Hungary."
