Tassi on WTCR 2022: “I trained my hardest during the winter to fight for the title”

Attila Tassi is revving up to race at home in the WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup at the Hungaroring this weekend when he’ll bid to topple his former mentor Norbert Michelisz, among others, during Sunday’s brace of races. This is what the 22-year-old, Honda-powered LIQUI MOLY Team Engstler driver has had to say. Your fourth season in the WTCR, what can WTCR fans expect from you in 2022?“This will be my fourth year but, to be honest, it just feels like it was yesterday when it was the first proper time in Marrakech with Tiago [Monteiro, my team-mate].

But I am definitely the most confident I have ever been to fight for the title compared to the last seasons.” Ad/> What has brought about this increased feeling of confidence?“I trained my hardest during the winter and I have clear goals in my mind which I want to achieve this season. I will work in this direction to fight for the title.” WTCRWho’s on track at WTCR Race of Hungary?20 HOURS AGO How has your training regime changed for 2022?“Year by year I change my training a bit, mentally and physically so I always feel ready. Physically I do many kinds of sports, running, tennis, boxing, going to the gym, so it’s a wide selection.

Mentally it’s mainly on the simulator. I try to focus and concentrate for a longer period of time to do longer races, for example, to not lose the focus. These things really can help during a race weekend.” Did you manage much testing before the season started?“We did three days of testing so not the most, but we could maximise our possibilities.
