Italian outlet Moto.it reports that the Hungarian GP's place on MotoGP's 2027 calendar is in jeopardy. The Balaton circuit, after only two events, has already been flagged as unsuitable, and a proposal has emerged to return the race to the Hungaroring in Budapest.

It's no small thing for a new circuit to reach top-tier standards. Safety, surface, run-off — riders on the ground feel every bit of that in their bodies. Getting dropped after just two races tells you exactly how demanding the requirements are. There's romance in the idea of a Hungaroring return, but without homologation, nobody's turning a wheel there. Reality doesn't go easy on anyone.

Track deemed unfit probably means it doesn't meet safety standards, seems like a reasonable call with the riders in mind.

Heard Hungaroring has some hilly sections, wonder how that shakes out safety-wise for bikes.

I get wanting to keep an Eastern Europe slot, but the calendar's a mess every single year.

Does the MotoGP calendar change a lot?

So a Hungaroring comeback would be the first since 1992? Heard of it for F1 but had no idea about MotoGP.

Only ran 2 races and already deemed unfit, feels like the planning during construction was too lax.

Balaton was a newly built circuit right? Seems rare for it to get disqualified this fast.
