Norbert Michelisz won’t take his foot off the gas until he wins the FIA World Touring Car Championship.
The Hungarian is joining the factory Honda team for 2016 after securing the WTCC Trophy for a second time in 2015.
“After my first race victory in Macau in 2010 I set a high goal to myself, which was to win the world championship at some time,” said the gamer turned racer. “I truly believe that this environment that I have for this season is capable of doing that.”
He continued: “I have to thank Alessandro [Mariani, Honda team boss, pictured right] and I have to thank Honda for giving their trust. Like I said I want to win, I want to win the world championship. I want to become the world champion. That’s the final goal. it’s difficult to tell this year if we are capable of achieving that. We did a couple of test days and there’s certainly a very good atmosphere in the team and I truly believe we can fight for pole positions and race victories this season.”
