Hungarian youngster Bence Boldizs will drive a CUPRA for Zengő Motorsport in the WTCR.
The 22-year-old from Budapest emerged as a race winner in the Hungarian Suzuki Swift one-make trophy before switching to rallycross last year, when he finished runner-up in the national championship. He is currently second in the TCR Europe SIM Racing Series behind Dániel Nagy.
“It’s a big step up for me,” Boldizs said. “For the first year and the first couple of races, the most important thing is to learn as much as I can because we are in the learning phase right now and the results are not the most important thing. I know the Hungaroring, I know Slovakiaring but I’ve never been to the other tracks before.”
The team plans to run a second CUPRA car and will announce the name of Boldizs’ teammate in due course.
