SS6 – 1st car start: 3:48 PM
Stage description
The beginning of this stage is a narrow forest road where spectators can walk about 4-500 meters to reach the Flórika spring. After the spring, the race continues in a restricted area for spectators until the end of the forest road. Following this, there is a wider, high-quality asphalt road leading to the Kishuta settlement, where multiple scenic viewing points are accessible. Towards Bózsva, the racers encounter some gravel sections, and the famous “katlan” promises unforgettable sights for fans who choose this location. After Bózsva, a right-angle turn is followed by a right-left combination, providing both racers and spectators with another opportunity for excitement. From Kisbózsva to the finish line, the stage is once again a no-go zone for spectators, and the challenge for drivers lies in the changes in rhythm on this course.

The stage starts on a narrow single-lane road just off the bike path near Füzér, and spectators are advised not to enter this area. Several spectacular viewing points are accessible from the center of Füzér, and before the morning closing, you can also reach the parking lot of Füzér Castle, allowing you to follow the race from this designated viewing spot throughout the day. After leaving the medieval castle, the racers continue on a gravel section. The Hollóházi junction is the next viewing point, reachable from both Hollóháza and Slovakia. The field also passes through Kéked and Abaújvár, and after leaving Abaújvár, there is another excellent viewing point, which can be accessed from the direction of Gönc even during the race. Following this, the pairs of racers navigate a fast, narrow section towards the finish line, which is also in a restricted area for spectators. Aside from its length, the challenge of this stage lies in the gravel section, where the competitors must stay on the track with asphalt tires.

Turning left at the junction, you’ll find several bridges where the race cars pass over. The next section features a combination of high-speed and technical segments, and just before reaching Erdőbénye, there is another viewing point located in a right-angle right turn, easily accessible from Erdőbénye. In the final few hundred meters before the finish line, the track narrows down onto a narrower, high-quality road, which is a restricted area for spectators.

Sunday Special Stages
Óhuta-Fony
Length: 10.8 km
Expected road closure: 6:00 AM
SS9 – 1st car start: 9:12 AM
SS11 – 1st car start: 12:28 PM
Stage description
The stage starts from Óhuta on a challenging, lower-quality road. After about two to three kilometers, the asphalt smooths out, and the field approaches the bends near Regéc Castle, which has stood here since the 1300s. These bends, in addition to being spectacular viewing spots, are easily reachable from the castle’s parking lot, but it’s important to target this location before it closes. The bends just before the finish near Fony are also easily accessible to spectators. For the racers, the toughest challenge on this stage will be finding the right braking points before the chicanes and turns.Az űrlap teteje

SS10 – 1st car start: 10:35 AM
Stage description
The iconic stage of Rally Hungary, where racing cars speed through the vineyards of Mád. The start and finish are just a few hundred meters apart. This is one of the most accessible locations for spectators, with easy parking and a short walk to the viewing points. The new addition for this year is that it will be a circuit stage for the first time. This presents a significant challenge for the racers, as the distance has increased to 25 kilometers, but fans will get to see their favorites twice. The second time around, the Sárga Borház stage will be the final competitive stage, promising an intense battle for additional points. After the race, there will be a ceremonial celebration in the parking area to honor the race winners.
