Better than we expected

Martin Molnár finished the second round of the WSK Final Cup in Lonato, Italy with an excellent performance. The driver of the HUMDA Academy was in the top 10 during the heats and in the final he finished 14th, despite the fact that he was droped out in the prefinal due to a broken chain.

In the three heats, he finished 7th twice and 9th once to reach the prefinal in 11th place. He had a good start, but on the second lap his chain, which drives the rear axle, broke and he had to give up the race. This meant he could only start from 21st in the final. Here he came up to 14th place after a very hard fought race and several serious battles.

Martin thus finished the first two OK races of his career in 16th and 14th place, exceeding expectations. The Energy Corse team was also extremely satisfied with the performance of the driver, who is supported by HUMDA Hungarian Motorsport and Green Mobility Development Agency Zrt.

‘If someone has told me three weeks ago that I would finish 16th and 14th in my first two OK races, I would have accepted it immediately. But I was left with a feeling of missing out’ said Martin Molnár.

‘My qualifying race went well, in the heats maybe a little bit was left in. I qualified 11th for the prefinal, where I would have liked to finish in the top 10 to get a better position for the final. But in the second round my chain broke. That’s the technical sport. So in the final I started from quite behind, but I managed to finish 14th.’

‘I’ve gained a lot of experience in these two races, it’s definitely been a useful change of category and I’m looking forward to the start of the season in January with a lot of hope.’
