Norbert Michelisz

After two Free Practice sessions on the Circuito de Vila Real Norbert Michelisz and the MOL Group Zengő Motorsport team are well prepared for today's qualifying session. In total, the Hungarian outfit managed 20 laps, finishing third in FP1 and tenth in FP2, leaving Norbert satisfied with the results.

"I enjoy driving on this circuit a lot. The rhythm here is quite unique", the no. 5 Honda Civic WTCC driver says. "Due to a lot of fast corners there is plenty of excitement. But there is no room for error. However, so far, I have to say our performance over one lap is maybe the best we had all season. Therefore, I am quite confident and I hope we can achieve a good result in qualifying and in tomorrow's races, of course. For today's qualifying hopefully we can get a top 5 finish."
