The Hungarian Grandprix history can be traced way back to 1936 when the first event was held over a five-kilometer track in Budapest. Among the teams that participated in the race include the Mercedez-Benz, Alfa Romeo, and Auto Union. The event attracted a huge crowd but the ensuing political situation and war meant that it could not continue.
Actually, in the next fifty years, nothing much was heard about the Hungarian Grand Prix. The political events which led to the fall of the Iron Curtain are instrumental to the return of the racing event in 1986. The first race was to take place this year attracting huge crowds once again.
