Cons
–
Speedway isn't huge in the US like NASCAR, so it might feel unfamiliar compared to familiar ovals back home.
–
Debrecen flies under the radar for most American tourists who stick to Budapest or Western Europe, so it takes extra planning to discover.
–
Long-haul flights from the US to Hungary add up in time and jet lag before even getting to the track.
–
While public transport works, navigating Hungarian buses or trains without apps might trip you up if you're not tech-savvy.
