Norbert Kiss, Revesz Truck Racing team and 2021 FIA ETRC Champion: "This great achievement did not start with the first race, it started back in December in the workshop. Truck racing is much like Formula 1 as it takes a lot of technical development and finetuning to optimize the performance of the truck and how the different parts work together, including the tyres. It's a great pleasure to work with the team and I'm very proud. Being a new team, it is amazing how we could build-up to this momentum in just 1 or 2 years and take the lead in the championship. The competition was fierce as we were all fighting for each victory and no mistakes were allowed.
