SPOT CHECK DIRTPARK
OCATED IN THE
SOUTH of Hungary,
Dirtpark first
opened its gates in
2009. The facility
comprises of an
American-sized
MX track (built to
FIM GP specs); a small (quad-bike
friendly) MX track with alternative
lines for beginners; a supercross
track; an endurocross track and a
traditional enduro circuit. There has
even been a space set aside for an
FMX area to be built in the future.
As well as always being prepped
and graded, the tracks at Dirtpark
are constantly being improved and
updated. “Every year we want to
give something new to our guests,”
explains Dirtpark owner Balázs
Hoffmann.

The tracks at Dirtpark were built
by Dirt Wurx – the guys behind the
US supercross tracks. “This valley
wouldn’t be so breathtaking without
the experience Rich Winkler and
his professional team of builders,”
Balázs tells us. “Americans simply
think differently. They dare to dream
big and that is exactly what appealed
to me. Never in my life would I have
thought about using these hills the
way they did.”
“This is the biggest motocross track
we have ever built,” explains Rich
Winkler, CEO of Dirt Wurx USA. “The
track is bigger and badder than most
US national tracks! We are really
proud to be a part of this project.”
One factor that sets Dirtpark apart
from the majority of motocross
tracks out there is the long list of
home comforts and facilities that
are available to riders on site; hot
showers, good toilets, free wifi, a
campsite, a big fireplace, electricity,
security and even a pool! For riders
who have travelled a long way and
are staying for a few days, this is a
big plus!
Dirtpark attracts both amateur and
pro riders from Hungary as well as
the surrounding countries of Slovenia,
Croatia and Austria. “But we have
had Swedish, Finnish, English,
American, Russian and even South
African guests already,” Balázs tells
us. “This year we got some enquiries
from riders wishing to visit from as far
away as Brazil and Australia.” u
