The baby brother of the Dubai 24 hours, now in its 3rd year is only 2 weeks away & for the first time, live english language commentary will be streamed across the internet.
The Hungaroring has been criticised in the past, but the Le Mans Series race showed us that even this tight, technical track can deliver an excellent endurance event.
After a difficult first year (the race was meant to be 24hrs, but nimbys blocked running through the night), the 2009 event featured 30 cars & for 2010 an entry list has been announced that can boast teams such as Marcos, Lechner, Konrad, Sunred and ARC Bratislava with cars as diverse as the Saker & Brokernet taking on the ubiquitous Porsche, Audi & BMW machines.
The 2009 race was won by Schubert's BMW Z4 - the same team who took the inaugural spoils, but with them choosing to miss this year's race the field is wide open; entrants have a habit of persevering (last year only 4 DNFs) & the pesky diesel BMWs are sure to cause a headache for the thirstier GT3 cars.
Race starts 10:00 local time (09:00 UK time) 9th October; which means the finish will be conveniently just as the build up for the Bathurst 1000 starts.
