A number of WorldSBK riders were able to get to Balaton Park this week to try the circuit ahead of its debut round in July.

Several WorldSBK riders got their first taste of the new Hungarian circuit during the test at Balaton Park. The Honda HRC riders, trying out the stock CBR1000RR-R bikes, didn’t appear overly impressed with the track. Xavi Vierge commented that while the track could be improved, he appreciated the opportunity to practice on a new circuit. Iker Lecuona rode three different versions of the CBR in a short span, including the street version at Balaton, but admitted he did not enjoy the track. Honda HRC team manager Jose Escamez mentioned concerns about safety and the need for potential improvements. Other riders present at the test included Toprak Razgatlioglu, Alvaro Bautista, Sam and Alex Lowes, Axel Bassani, Nicolo Bulega, and Moto2 rider Diogo Moreira, who made the trip between races to Hungary.
