what's on WORLD TOURING CAR CUP (WTCR) AUGUST 21-22 AT THE UNGARORING

The World Touring Car Cup first arrived to the Hungaroring in 2011, attracting huge crowds year after year, thanks to the spectacular side-by-side battles and the Hungarian drivers in the series. The Hungarian round is known for the best atmosphere and the biggest support from the stands. Mostly thanks to Norbert Michelisz, who claimed the championship trophy in 2019 achieving the biggest international success of Hungarian motorsport. Several young Hungarian drivers started to follow Michelisz’s footsteps, like Attila Tassi competing in a factory team and the talented young drivers of Zengő Motorsport. PURE ETCR is the world's first all-electric, multi-brand touring car championship, and uniquely gives the world's biggest and best-known brands the opportunity to compete for the official manufacturer title. Not only are the cars brand new, but so is the event itself, with a Hungarian team and driver on the grid. To get the maximum out of the high-powered 500kW PURE ETCR vehicles, each car must compete in a short, sharp, wheel-to-wheel battle, each driver must push their car to the limit without conserving energy. In the PURE ETCR series weekend, there will also be an electric car exhibition at the spectators’ area.
