Norbert Michelisz

A very unfortunate start to the 2015 FIA WTCC season for Norbert Michelisz and the Zengő Motorsport team: After having meticulously prepared the No. 5 Honda Civic for the first qualifying session of the year, a rare technical failure prevented the Hungarian outfit from shining on track as on his first lap out of the pits Norbert lost the front left wheel. He was able to bring back the car but had to stop nevertheless.

"It's a very difficult situation", says Norbert, huge disappointment in his face. "The left front wheel came off. Unfortunately, the damage to the car was too big to continue. So that was it for us."

As Norbert did not manage to set a laptime in today's qualifying session he will take the start for the opening race of the 2015 season from the back of the grid. But with renewed motivation Norbert and the MOL backed Zengő Motorsport team will aim for a good result despite the unfortunate setback.
