F2 and F3 will miss 2027 Hungarian Grand Prix, according to vezess.hu
Formula 2 and Formula 3 will not join the support race schedule for the 2027 Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring, according to vezess.hu. The decision strips the 4,381-meter asphalt circuit of its traditional junior single-seater championships, altering a race weekend format that has featured F2 continuously since the late 1990s and F3 alongside its predecessor GP3 since 2010.
The 2027 Support Race Cut
The official 2027 Formula 1 calendar established the primary grand prix dates weeks ago, but the supporting category schedule remained unconfirmed until October 5. While Formula 2 and Formula 3 will maintain their status as regular F1 support acts at selected rounds next season, they will skip the Hungarian stop entirely. vezess.hu noted that neither junior series will hold championship rounds outside of the designated F1 weekends, making their absence from Mogyoród a permanent omission for the 2027 race weekend rather than a rescheduling.
Historical Context at the Hungaroring
The exclusion marks a sharp break from decades of racing tradition. Formula 2—operating through its historical iterations, including the F3000 era—has accompanied the Hungarian Grand Prix since the late 1990s. Junior development categories served as standard fixtures for local fans arriving at the 4,381-meter track, providing a full weekend of open-wheel competition ahead of the Sunday grand prix. While support races are not strictly mandatory for every Formula 1 event, the sudden removal of both feeder championships leaves a noticeable gap in the track action.
Fans Hope Porsche Supercup Stays on Hungaroring Roster
Spectators attending the 2027 grand prix will look to remaining support categories to fill the schedule void. vezess.hu reported that fans retain hope for the retention of the Porsche Supercup on the Hungaroring roster. Organizers could also introduce the F1 Academy—the all-female single-seater championship backed directly by official Formula 1 teams—to absorb part of the timetable space left by the departure of F2 and F3. Decisions regarding the final support lineup rest on upcoming scheduling updates from race promoters.
