The 12 Hours of Hungary was both a spots car and touring car automobile endurance race held at the Hungaroring. In 2008, Dutch organizer Creventic, who also organizes the Dubai 24 Hour, added this event to their schedule of races.[1]

History

The race was run a total of seven times, 6 between 2008 and 2014 when the 24H Series did not award points or championships. The other occasion was when the event was revived in 2021 replacing the round at Autodromo di Pergusa.[2][3]
