After the failed Balatonring project, Hungary would once again try to build a circuit for MotoGP, this time to be built in Hajdúnánás near Debrecen. Construction began in the second quarter of 2021 to be built and was to be homologated by 2023, the year the Hungarian motorcycle Grand Prix had been expected to return.[2] That grand prix would be postponed by a year.[3]
The new track will have a 5.050 km (3.138 mi) long layout, making it one of the longest circuits on the MotoGP calendar. It will also feature 15 turns and multiple elevation changes.[4][5] The new track will also have two other shorter layouts.[6]
