With the Hungaroring potentially taking on the MotoGP, the Balaton Park Circuit, around 60 miles west of Budapest, is in talks to host WorldSBK in 2024.
A statement from Dorna confirming the news said:
"MotoGP’s return to Hungary might be closer than you think! The collaboration between Dorna Sports and the Hungarian Mobility Development Agency (HUMDA) is very much ongoing, with two venues being explored for the near future.
"Dorna and HUMDA are working together on the homologation of the Hungaroring and the new Balaton Park Circuit in order to bring both MotoGP and WorldSBK back to Hungary soon.
"The aim of an updated agreement between Dorna and HUMDA is to first include Balaton Park on the 2024 WorldSBK calendar and as a reserve venue for MotoGP next season, before the Hungaroring hosts MotoGP from 2025… so watch this space!"

Before the Hungary events can take place though, 2023 needs to be finished, and it’s another new MotoGP circuit taking the spotlight this week, as the Buddh International Circuit hosts the series for the very first time.
