After having a myriad of problems, especially finding funding, the Hungarian track was a dealt a death blow this Monday when the Hungarian Development Bank declined to underwrite a loan for the track.

That bad fortune (for Hungarian MotoGP fans, not for Capirex) seems to have changed however as the loan has now been refused by the Hungarian bank, which leaves the Hungarian circuit a big question mark for the 2010 MotoGP calendar as it struggles to raise the needed $80 million.

With the economic collapse last year, the Hungarian track failed to be completed on time to make its 2009 debut; and with the collapse in the real estate market, there was some doubt if the track would be completed at all. Yet despite this Dorna remained faithful and thought it fit to place the track ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/capirossi-losing-bet-ezpeleta/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MotoGP Riders Bet Dorna the That Balatonring Won&#8217;t Be Ready for 2010 MotoGP Season</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/balatonring-bet-capirossi-ezpeleta-motogp-2010/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/balatonring-bet-capirossi-ezpeleta-motogp-2010/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:01:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Balatonring]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Capirex]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Carmelo Ezpeleta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hungarian GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hungary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Loris Capirossi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[season]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=6038</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dorna and the MotoGP rider&#8217;s Safety Commission met in Sepang this past Friday before the Malaysian GP to talk about the upcoming 2010 season, and in particular the addition of the Hungarian Balatonring to the schedule. While Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta believes the track will be completed on-time for its MotoGP debute, Satefy Comission Founding Member, Loris Capirossi, disagrees.

New to the line-up (well sort of), is the stop in Hungary at the Balatonring (yet to be built). And also, the British GP will be held at Silverstone instead of Donington Park. Donington will host Formula1 instead for the foreseeable future.That shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to you if you&#8217;re a A&#38;R regular, but for you newcomers&#8230;umm, gee&#8230;well, SURPRISE!
