Eszter N\u00e9meth, the&nbsp;best female speed car racer of 2024, finished in&nbsp;second place&nbsp;in the international classification of the&nbsp;Swift Cup Europe&nbsp;and&nbsp;third place&nbsp;in the overall standings of the Hungarian Championship. Furthermore, the institution&#8217;s team became the&nbsp;team champion of the National Karting Championship, with two of its drivers winning&nbsp;individual championship titles&nbsp;and earning the right to&nbsp;participate in the World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University is a key player in mobility, not only through its quality education and research, development, and innovation activities but also through their increasingly outstanding performance in motorsport. The results of the institution&#8217;s sports club&#8217;s motorsport department, UNI-Gy\u0151r WMS, prove this. The karting team, consisting of more than forty members, was involved in numerous series, including the Hungarian, Italian, and European Championships in the Easy Kart and Rotax categories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drivers secured several valuable podium finishes during the season, with the greatest success achieved by&nbsp;Vilmos Willisits Jr. and Bende Szab\u00f3: the former became the Hungarian Champion in the&nbsp;Junior&nbsp;category, while the latter won the title in the&nbsp;DD2&nbsp;category. The two young competitors also earned the right to participate in the world final, considered the&nbsp;World Championship for kart racers, which will be held in&nbsp;Bahrain&nbsp;from 29 November to 6 December, with the best competitors from more than 60 countries taking part. Thanks to the individual results of its members,&nbsp;UNI-Gy\u0151r WMS&nbsp;also won the&nbsp;Hungarian Team Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/7f5c56_b0614cbc7ba74531949e26deec00714e~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_925,h_618,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto\/7f5c56_b0614cbc7ba74531949e26deec00714e~mv2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Vilmos Willisits Jr.&nbsp;won the Hungarian Championship title in the&nbsp;Junior category (Photo: M\u00e1t\u00e9 Dud\u00e1s)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eszter N\u00e9meth, a car racer and e-sports athlete of the Hungarian National Team, is also developing her skills within the Sz\u00e9chenyi University motorsport division.

The year&nbsp;2025&nbsp;brought even greater success for her than before, as she secured&nbsp;third place&nbsp;overall in the&nbsp;Hungarian&nbsp;standings and&nbsp;second place&nbsp;in the&nbsp;international&nbsp;classification of the&nbsp;Swift Cup&nbsp;championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/7f5c56_c73a9a87dd2d4bb89458755d6b53f17b~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_2048,h_1367,al_c,q_90\/7f5c56_c73a9a87dd2d4bb89458755d6b53f17b~mv2.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Bende Szab\u00f3&nbsp;left the entire Hungarian field behind him in the&nbsp;DD2 category.

I gained a lot of experience during the six race weekends. I was able to race on renowned circuits such as the&nbsp;Red Bull Ring in Austria or the Balaton Park Circuit. I have many beautiful memories from the races, but of course, there were challenges too, which we solved as a team,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;the young competitor said, evaluating her season. She added that she is proud to achieve her successes under the&nbsp;colours&nbsp;of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, as racing under the institution&#8217;s auspices represents immense prestige for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI am a&nbsp;first-year student&nbsp;of&nbsp;Recreation Management and Health Promotion at the University of Gy\u0151r, so I constantly experience how much this support means, which helps not only in racing but also in obtaining my degree. The institution makes it possible for athletes to reconcile their studies with elite sport; without this, I would not be able to perform both on the&nbsp;race track&nbsp;and in the lecture hall at the same time. Of course, now that the season has ended, my university tasks will significantly increase, so in the weeks ahead, I will be shifting into a higher gear in my studies,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Eszter N\u00e9meth revealed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/images\/News\/2025_10\/Championship%20titles\/k%C3%A9p3.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Eszter N\u00e9meth, student of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, is&nbsp;Hungary&#8217;s best female speed car racer (Photo: Andr\u00e1s Adorj\u00e1n)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Tam\u00e1s Kolossv\u00e1ry, Head of the Gy\u0151r Innovation Park of Sz\u00e9chenyi University, highlighted on behalf of the motorsport department that the Hungarian and international results of the young talents are an important confirmation for the institution.&nbsp;<em>\u201cOne of the goals of our University\u2019s motorsport strategy is to create conditions that lay the foundation for the further successes of our competitors,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;<em>\u201cIn addition to working with junior athletes, we also place great emphasis on&nbsp;training experts.
