Balatonring, a race track in Hungary

Balatonring is a motorsport racing track located in Sávoly on the southwestern shore of Lake Balaton. The circuit was designed to be approximately 4.65 kilometers long with 17 turns to accommodate both motorcycles and cars.

The foundation stone was laid in September 2008, and construction of the 200 million Euro project began on 6 November 2008. The first MotoGP race was planned for 20 September 2009, but was cancelled in March 2009 due to the financial crisis. The 2010 Hungarian Grand Prix was also cancelled in March 2010, and the project went bankrupt.

The unfinished track lies in fields near Sávoly, about 180 km from Budapest and close to Lake Balaton. Weeds have overgrown the track line, and the foundation stone was stolen. The site is reached by car; no facilities or marked access exist.

The 200-hectare site was auctioned in October 2012 with a starting price of HUF 1.5 billion against HUF 3.5 billion in debts, and found no buyer. The foundation stone itself was later stolen from the half-built track. In September 2024 ownership passed for HUF 664.3 million to the largest creditor, Sávolyi Termálcentrum Kft., ending a seven-year liquidation.
