Performances from the double European winner in the Super1600 category that Mattias Ekström did not fail to notice. “I wanted to work with Krisz this season because his results were quite promising last year and I predict a bright future for him, comments the Swede.

The World RX championship has changed for 2019 and I think Krisz has a great chance to be one of the best and win many races. That's why I suggested that he participate in the World Championship instead of the European Championship. »

“It will be different in 2019 with a much more balanced championship, Szabo analyzes. Everyone will have a better chance, including me. I have one of the best teams and one of the best cars with me.

I know most of the circuits, except Abu Dhabi (whose route was revealed this Sunday) and Spa. I can't wait to get into Eau Rouge. It's now or never for me in 2019 and I start my first world championship season with title hopes. »
