Ferjáncz was a true Hungarian motor sport hero; a 23 national titles, a 22-time rally-winner in the European Rally Championship (with a best overall season result of third).

The champion went on to serve Hungarian motor sport at the highest level as an administrator, working for ten years as the President of the Hungarian National Sporting Authority.

At this weekend’s FIA World Touring Car Championship event in Hungaroring, a minute of silence will be held before the Opening Race on Sunday, as a mark of respect to a champion of, and for, Hungarian motor sport.

The FIA conveys its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Attila Ferjáncz, as well as all of Hungarian motor sport.
