2001 Pécs

The only one Hungarian race in the Cup. The points László could get here were important for the Austrian Championship, too. Luckily he knew this circuit very well as he had raced here since 1995. He made a circuit-record here as well in 1999 that was broken a year later by his rival, Walter Leitgeb (his car equipped with a Formula-1 engine).
On the Saturday trainings László could egde ahead of Leitgeb. During the further trainings the two rivals had a spectacular fight. László Szász strove for the new record and Leitgeb for overcoming László.
On Sunday the weather didn't show favour towards the racers, who had to run on the 3 km long circuit in heavy rain. At the first run László did his best and achieved the best time-result, while Leitgeb broke his car at the beginning of the circuit. The second run didn't bring in the well-deserved victory, so László had to be satisfied with the 2nd place in the absolute category, but he turned out to be the best among the formula cars.
