Ramtech has revealed its role in protecting the prestigious F1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2024, with its WES system utilized across several temporary buildings for optimum site protection.

Working closely with Hungarian partner, High-Security Kft, Ramtech supplied its EN54-25 compliant wireless fire and evacuation system (WES) for various structures including media spaces, bathrooms, dressing rooms, and conference areas.

These facilities were purpose-built for the race and lacked permanent fire alarm systems, so the system helped to deliver enhanced safety for personnel and equipment throughout the event.

Adam Kovics, Export Sales Manager at Ramtech, said, "It’s a privilege to get to work on such a renowned event as the F1 Grand Prix, which allows us to showcase how robust and reliable our systems are on the world stage."

Adam Kovics adds, "WES provided an ideal fire safety solution for the temporary structures, offering ease of installation and removal post-event and ensuring safety and compliance with event regulations. It is certainly a proud moment for the team in supporting the safety and 24/7 monitoring of this iconic race."

WES fire points and smoke detectors were installed across four container groups at the Hungaroring racetrack in Mogyoród, Pest County. The WES interface was used to connect the system to the permanent fire alarm system, ensuring continuous monitoring and immediate response capabilities.

The event was the thirteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the 39th running in the Hungaroring circuit’s history as part of the Formula One World Championship.

The containers and the temporary system were necessary due to ongoing permanent building reconstructions that will only be completed for the 2025 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix.
