The Hungarian round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship was held in Hungary for the first time on this track in 2006, remaining on the calendar until 2013. In 2022, it became the Hungarian round of the Euro RX again, serving as the opening round of the championship.[1] It returned for the 2023 season, again as its opening round.[2][3] On 28 February 2024, the Nyirád Racing Center was announced as hosting the Euro RX of Hungary and World RX of Hungary in the same weekend, on 27–28 July.[4]
