Szeged to host electric vehicle event featuring Nick Heidfeld and Sébastien Buemi

Former Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld and four-time Le Mans winner Sébastien Buemi will be among the guests at the E Street Parade, an electric mobility event scheduled for September 14 in Szeged, organizers said.

The event will feature displays of electric cars, motorcycles, and other low-emission or alternative-fuel vehicles, along with racing demonstrations and professional talks. The program will take place at Széchenyi Square and the Huszár Mátyás Quay. Admission is free.

Heidfeld raced in Formula 1 for BMW and Renault and competed in Formula E. Buemi, who last visited Szeged in 2009, is a multiple Formula E and World Endurance Championship titleholder.

Organizers said Szeged was chosen not only for its historic setting but also for its role as one of Hungary’s emerging centers of technology and sustainability. The city is home to renewable energy research at the University of Szeged and has been selected as the site for BYD's first European electric car factory, now under construction.

The event will also include a go-kart slalom competition that serves as a qualifier for the 2026 FIA Motorsport Games junior category, along with family activities and opportunities to try electric vehicles.
