Puzzle Contest #109 with Lizzy Cseh The fabulous Magyar Grand Prix 2014 As summer starts to heat up, I cannot help but think about my impending trip to beautiful Hungary in the fall. Every month, I like to look to see what kind of exciting events are going on in Hungary in the hopes that I will be able to catch a festival or parade of some sort. As I was looking for various tourist attractions, an exciting event crossed my path. The Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix race is being held in Hungary this July. The event is three days long, running from July 25 to 2 7. Seeing this race advertised on the Internet reminded me of the time when I was about 10 years old and bought my father a poster of all the Grand Prix race tracks in Europe. There is a picture of the Hungarian Grand Prix track on the poster. The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held on June 21, 1936, over a 3.1 -mile track laid out in Népliget, a park in Budapest. The current Grand Prix racetrack is located in Mogyoród, Hungary. It operates under the name Hungaroring, or Magyar Nagydij. The racetrack has a pretty interesting history. It was built to host the first Formula One Grand Prix to take place behind the Iron Curtain. Some wanted the track to be built in the USSR, but Bernie Ecclestone, the leading figure in Formula One racing, pushed for the track to be built in Hungary. The track’s location was chosen because it has easy access to a highway and a “shallow plate” which allows the track to be seen by spectators from any point of view. In fact the racetrack is the third most visited place in Hungary. The Hungaroring is one of the shortest tracks in the Grand Prix circuit. What it lacks in road length, it makes up for in the numerous amounts of twists and turns on the course. The nature of the track makes it difficult for drivers to pass each other rapidly because the track is narrow and quite dusty while in use. This month’s puzzle contains 15 clues, all related to the Grand Prix and the Hungaroring track. Good Luck! Enjoy your summer!
