With Formula 1 race weekend approaching, the official partner of Hungaroring, Bolt (taxi company), claims that the app will allow the public to order cars worthy of F1 standards in Budapest 24 hours a day. The F1 event organizer expects to make at least $3 million (HUF 1 billion) in profit, reports Világgazdaság.
As the official supplier partner of the Hungaroring, Bolt will be able to transport visitors to the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Hungarian Grand Prix, which will take place between 21-23 July.
The F1 race weekend attracts huge crowds to the Hungarian capital each year, with around 300,000 people visiting the Mogyoród track over the four days last year.
What is more, it has been known for some time that the final race on Sunday will be a sell-out affair.
Getting in and out is always a logistical challenge. The cooperation will also allow Bolt to use a dedicated VIP lane to speed up the exit.
According to the F1destinations.com collection, the Hungarian Grand Prix is the cheapest in terms of average ticket prices, costing $184 (HUF 62,523). In this respect,
Hungaroring is by far the most economical of the 23 venues in the field,
with Bahrain second at $265 (HUF 90,047), Australia third at $276 (HUF 93,785), and Canada fourth at $297 (HUF 100,921).
According to another portal, RacingNews365, tracks are paying between $20 million and $57 million (HUF 6.80 billion and HUF 19.37 billion) to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, with Hungaroring in Europe paying the most at $40 million (HUF 13.59 billion).

Bolt suggests that people traveling to the Hungaroring from out of town should order from around busy hubs, so they are more likely to find a vehicle available within minutes.
The fare depends largely on the departure point and the traffic, but
from the Buda side, the fare is around $41-53 (HUF 14-18,000), while from the city center, it is between $38-47 (HUF 13-16,000).
The average journey is 30-40 minutes.
