Motorsport fans can cheer on the best of Hungarian rallying at the second WHB Gy\u0151r Rally from 6-8 September. The Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s campus will be one of the most exciting stages of the weekend. In addition to the spectacular circuit, the institution will also be hosting a technology-focused, motorsport-themed exhibition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the WHB Gy\u0151r Rally revived a long-standing tradition in the city, with the town centre stage involving the University proving hugely popular<\/a>. The institution was delighted to join the event again this year, which is organised by TRP Hungary in cooperation with the Municipality of Gy\u0151r, the National Rally Championship promoter HUMDA Hungarian Mobility Development Agency Ltd., a member of the Sz\u00e9chenyi University Group, and Mitko Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the press conference on 3 September, it was announced that on 6 September, the cars will roll off the starting ramp at Dunakapu Square in the heart of Gy\u0151r, and the square will host family events throughout the weekend. Another exciting venue in the city centre will be Sz\u00e9chenyi University, where a stage of the rally will take in the winding roads surrounding the buildings of the central campus. However, the University is not just joining the event with the track, its Vehicle Industry Research Centre is also organising an exciting motorsport-themed stand for spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the press conference of the 2nd WHB Gy\u0151r Rally held at the town hall, it was said that even more exciting stages and special programmes than last year await the spectators between 6-8 September. (Photo by Andr\u00e1s Adorj\u00e1n)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promoter of the National Rally Championship, Bal\u00e1zs Weingartner, President of the HUMDA Hungarian Mobility Development Agency Ltd., a member of the Sz\u00e9chenyi University Group, emphasized the importance of the support of the city and the university, and stated that thanks to the excellent cooperation a truly prestigious regional motorsport event has been created. He added that the high number of visitors, which they would like to increase this year, also demonstrated the success of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

„There is no other discipline where the organisers and spectators have to work so closely together,”<\/em> said Zolt\u00e1n Szuj\u00f3, President of the National Automobilsport Federation of Hungary (MNASZ), who sees one of the most important tasks of the organisers and promoters during the rally is ensuring the safety of the fans. He said that since December 2022, the Federation has been looking for partners with whom the cause of Hungarian motorsport can be raised to a higher level, and he is pleased that Sz\u00e9chenyi University is a partner in its development. „One of the best advertisements for automotive and technical training is the building and operation of a racing car. It is an attraction that may lead more young people to technical higher education, so we thank the University for its support,”<\/em> he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zolt\u00e1n Szuj\u00f3 also made an important announcement: the MNASZ has reached an agreement with Dr Barna Hanula, Associate Professor at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, on future cooperation. The expert will help the association in its rule-making work and in developing a strategy for the safety of competitors and spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr Attila Varga, Chairman of the MNASZ Rally Committee, the Gy\u0151r Rally is the most regular and precise event, and they would like to surpass last year’s successes with this year’s event. „I can only express my gratitude to all those who are involved in this work. The city has shown so much love and enthusiasm, which is essential, and this motivates the organisers to create an event of the highest quality,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tam\u00e1s \u0150ry, Chairman of the Organising Committee, said that they have been working on the event for eight months, with a total of 500 people ensuring that the Gy\u0151r Rally is an event of international standard. „We listened to the feedback from last year and tried to improve the event. The two most popular stages – the R\u00e1baring and the town centre stage – will be held on two separate days this year, the former on Saturday and the latter on Sunday. A significant change is that we have moved the centre of the race to Dunakapu Square in the centre of Gy\u0151r, with a start and finish ramp, a supporters’ zone and family activities,”<\/em> he said. He also mentioned, that thanks to a recent agreement, depending on the success of this year’s event, it will be possible to go up a level and the Gy\u0151r Rally could even become the international Mitropa Cup next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ferenc Szauter, Head of Vehicle Industry Research Center at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, said the weekend would be a celebration of motorsport for the institution. „We are preparing a special technology-focused, family-friendly event. Our student racing teams – including the Arrabona Racing Team and the world record-breaking SZEnergy Team – will be making their debut, and there will be a range of activities for adults and children alike,”<\/em> he said. He added that, as well as entertainment, the aim is to help people find their way around the track. „We want to contribute to the training of young people in motorsport and to help young people to see their future in motorsport,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representing Gy\u0151r, Mayor Dr Csaba Andr\u00e1s D\u00e9zsi said that the Gy\u0151r Rally is a popular initiative, which is loved by the people of the city. „It’s not enough to create something; you have to be able to sustain success. It’s fantastic to hear how this event is developing, because if the event were to become part of an international motor sport circuit, it would raise the standard and importance of the city,”<\/em> he said. In closing, he highlighted safety and asked for the cooperation of spectators to ensure an accident-free event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krist\u00f3f Klausz, who holds a degree in Vehicle Engineering from Sz\u00e9chenyi University, was already looking forward to the rally last year, but his team with Tam\u00e1s Papp failed to deliver the expected result. „Unfortunately, we didn’t finish last year, but this year we are even more motivated. We are determined to reach the city stage and our goal is a podium finish,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
