Brno BMW Driver Highlight: Henrik Horvath

 

Name: Henrik Horvath
Age: 28
Location: Budapest, Hungary
V-WTCC car: Chevrolet Lacetti
V-WTCC achievement: Winner of the Chevrolet Brand Cup Race at Brands Hatch
 

You won the Brand Cup event by winning both races. Tell us your story of the races.
I liked the races, especially the 2nd, it was a close and fair one. I was a little bit faster than the others and I could take advantage of it. I took the lead in the first lap and pulled a few seconds lead which I could hold until the end. During the qualification I was a bit surprised, since the others were really fast, but the races went well for me.

This is the second time you won a Brand Cup event. How do you feel about that?
It is a fantastic feeling, but I am also a bit disappointed, because it seems I can not make into the Semi-Finals: I can not afford it financially.

Winning two Brand Cup events is a unique achievement. What is it you do that others do not?
I really don’t know. I think nothing special. I simply trust myself, that I can win races. I know that I don’t make mistakes and have a good pace for races.

With your record in V-WTCC you are one of the big favourites. How do you see your chances in the Semi-Final?
Me? Really, I am surprised. There are much bigger names in this field, who have an organization behind them like for example SK Gaming. It is very hard to be competitive against them. As I wrote I do not have much chance to go the Semi-Finals. If my dream comes true however and I would be able to make it, then I would not give my spot easily.
