Norbert Michelisz, the 2019 WTCR ā€“ FIA World Touring Car Cup title winner, completed the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup season with a Race DE King of the Weekend podium for Hyundai Motorsport N on Sunday.

It was the Hyundai Veloster N ETCR-driving Hungarianā€™s best result of the season and was in contrast to team-mate Mikel Azconaā€™s Sachsenring weekend, which was beset by issues from the outset and culminated in the Spaniard losing out of his top three finish in the final title standings.

ā€œIt was a very solid race weekend ā€“ probably my best of the season, and itā€™s always nice to finish the year like this,ā€ Michelisz said.

ā€œIt was a season mainly about learning and adapting myself to this new challenge, and I enjoyed every moment. We had some really tough ones, but I really feel now we are at the end that this is the best version of me as a driver. Itā€™s always the most important thing for me to finish a year in this way. Iā€™m very happy with the podium, I think I deserved it this weekend. I didnā€™t make mistakes and the pace was good. I really hope this journey will continue.ā€

CUPRA-powered Patrick Tambay claimed the overall ETCR title ahead of Mattias Ekstrƶm and Tom Blomqviist.
