It wasn't the first time it happened, but it still fills the entire organizing and directing team, as well as all the participants, with the same joy and pride that in 2021 the 54th Mecsek Rallye earned the prestigious title of Race of the Year among the domestic rally races.

The Rally Section of the Hungarian National Motorsport Association - postponed from December to January 8 due to the pandemic - held its traditional year-end awards gala on Saturday. In the framework of the ceremony held in the BOK Sports Hall, exceptional young talents, routine champions and sports icons were awarded - in addition, on behalf of the organizing committee of the Mecsek Rallye, the CEO of PSN Zrt. Máté János átvehette Az év versenye trófeát.

After the pandemic-stricken series of recent years, the rally community was able to celebrate together again on January 8; but at the award ceremony, in addition to the moments of joy, the representatives of the association also remembered those professionals who have passed away in the past months and years, so that the Mecsek Rallye has been guarding the Mecsek Rallye at a high level for almost three decades Jelen Istvánról, és az 54. Mecsek Rallye főszervezőjéről, Bernáth Miklósról is.

- During an extremely difficult period, everyone had to organize their own competitions, since in the situation due to the pandemic, both the competitors and the organizers had to deal with hitherto unknown challenges. It is a great pleasure for me that the Hungarian National Motorsport Association also recognized our work, as we received very positive feedback from the competitors and the international association, and we carried out the tasks entrusted to us with motivation and responsibility. With the departure of István Jelen and Miklós Bernáth, we have suffered an irreparable and unprocessable loss, I would like to dedicate this great recognition to their memory - fogalmazott a PSN Zrt. vezérigazgatója, Máté János.
