Tamas Pal Kiss will continue to race at Austrian outfit Zele Racing in the upcoming 2014 AutoGP World Series season
The 22-year-old successfully competed for Zele Racing last season. Kiss finished on the podium already in his first outing, coming third in Silverstone. He added six more Top 5 positions to come fifth in the final drivers’ standings, despite having missed the first four races.
“It’s good to be back at a place with people you know. My expectations are high, because the cooperation with the team was already very good last year. And from what Michael (Zele) told me, they have gained more experience and won several technical partnerships. So everything seems ready for us to battle at the front”, Kiss was all delighted.
Kiss made his karting début in 1998. Following three Hungarian national titles, he moved to Formula Renault 2.0 Suisse in 2008, before joining Formula Renault UK a year later. Coming third in the Graduate Cup, Kiss remained in the series and went on to taking third place overall with eight podiums and three wins next season. In 2011, Kiss started in the GP3 Series earning his maiden victory in Barcelona, before switching to AutoGP and Zele Racing for the 2013 season.
“Tamas proved his skill last season and it is nice to have him on board again. He has great potential and we believe that together we can take the next step this season”, team boss Michael Zele said.
The AutoGP season takes off with the official preseason tests in Valencia on April 1/2 before moving to Africa for the season opener at Marrakech, Morocco on April 11/12.
