Norbert Michelisz’s online racing exploits earned him a test in a Zengő Motorsport Renault Clio at the Hungaroring in 2005. Despite being a total rookie, he ended up 0.2s slower than established racer Gábor Wéber. That testing performance earned him a season in the Suzuki Swift Cup in his homeland in 2006. After winning the WTCC Trophy for independent racers twice, Michelisz landed a factory Honda ride for 2016, which culminated in an outright title challenge one year later. He eventually finished runner up to Thed Björk with three wins and three fastest laps. He’s been a Hyundai Motorsport driver since 2018.
