In the motor sport sensation of the year KTM, the world-famous motorbike manufacturer, has chosen a venue in Hungary for its international festival, to be held between the 7th and 9th of September. KTM is Europe’s second largest motorbike manufacturer, producing 84,000 motorbikes a year. KTM will hold its 7th motorbike festival at the Hungaroring racing circuit near Budapest in 2007. KTM enthusiasts and dedicated bikers across the world are already feverishly reparing for the event.The last KTM Festival was held in 2004 at the KTM headquarters in Mattinghofen. The event was a great success with participants arriving from all four corners of the world. It is therefore a great honour for Hungaroring to host the next event.
No motorbike mega-event would be complete without stars from the bike world and the Budapest event will welcome Cyril Després – double winner of the Dakar Rally, Marc Coma – winner of the Dakar Rally, Stefan Everts –ten-time motocross world champion, Heinz Kinigadner – motocross world champion and Dakar Rally rider, Mika Kallio – Moto GP rider, Hiroshi Aoyama – Moto GP rider, Giovanni Sala – enduro world champion and David Knight – enduro world champion. Of the many Hungarian stars it is enough to mention the names of Péter Kátai– the most successful pilot in the Dakar Rally motorbike category, Ákos Varga ¬
– Dakar Rally rider and Péter Sebestyén, who competes in the KTM Red Bull Rookies Cup.
It is difficult to list all the things that the organisers will pack into the three days to ensure that everyone – young and old, boys and girls, bike fanatics and on-lookers – will have a good time. The attractions will include streetfighter and freestyle shows and bikers can try out all of the tracks at Hungaroring. The 4.4 km long race track, the European Championship motocross track, the Adventure Park off-road course and the tricky supermoto track will all roar to the sound of motorbikes from morning until night.
Concerts and parties will be held every evening for all those who haven’t exhausted themselves during the exciting motorbike events of the day.
As the organisers expect many visitors from outside Budapest and abroad they will organise special city tours during the festival, which is a fantastic opportunity to strengthen Budapest’s international reputation.
The full program of events and the most up-to-date information about the festival can be found at the official website of the event.
