The safety of everyone involved, as well as the situation currently affecting the region, was our foremost consideration. We firmly believe that, under the present circumstances, postponing the event was the only appropriate and responsible course of action.
Over the past 24 hours, our organising team has been working tirelessly to identify a new date for the event as soon as possible, thereby offering the registered competitors and teams another opportunity to race.
When considering a new date, we carefully reviewed the calendars of the major international cross-country rally series, including the European Cup, the World Cup and the W2RC. Our objective was to avoid a clash with other prominent events and enable as many Hungarian and international competitors as possible to join us. We also took the expected weather and track conditions into account to ensure that the event can be held safely and to the high professional standards associated with the HunGarian Baja.
We are determined to make the best of this exceptionally challenging situation. Our team is working to ensure that the 23rd HunGarian Baja returns on an even larger scale and as an even more prestigious event. We have informed the FIA of our intentions and initiated the necessary discussions with the federation.
The new provisional date for the 23rd HunGarian Baja is early november 2026. (The organisers reserve the right to make further changes).
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the competitors, teams, volunteers, organisers and everyone involved for their understanding, patience and continued support. We sincerely hope to welcome as many of you as possible back to the HunGarian Baja on its new date.
We will come back stronger!
The HunGarian Baja Organising Committee
