This year, Péter is in line: the name Ranga has merged with the history of the Mecsek Rallye

Undoubtedly, the most polished race of the Hungarian rally championship was organized on the serpentines of Mecsek in Pécs. The six-time absolute champion, late László Ranga his name became synonymous with the race, and his children, Laci and Peti, tried to follow this tradition.

After their father's passing, there was almost no race in which at least one of them did not start. After the excellence of Laci last year, who won the 2WD category and finished a respectable absolute 12th, this year it is the younger brother Péter's turn.

"That's right, this year I'm going out of the two of us, by the way Janek Czakó by navigating" confirms our information Péter Ranga "My brother has a daughter who is almost six months old, so now he concentrates more on her and our team's affairs, so now I press the gas pedal of our own car, the Peugeot 208 Rally4. I would like to do at least as well as Laci did last year. He showed that with this car you can get close to the beginning, I want to pinch a few R5 cars as well. We didn't enter the Peugeot Cup, because our appearance is occasional, but we have to fight against a great field, I'm sure of that," notes Peti, who already achieved second place at the Mecse in 2016, also with Janek Czakó.

"We can't have such bloody hopes this year, but I liked this car and I must admit that I regained my motivation thanks to it. In the spring, we also started on Orfű and something inside me was already tingling. So at the moment, I am thinking about a more serious role. If we can, we'll switch to a bigger car, obviously I'm thinking of a used R5, and I feel the fire inside me again to start a couple of championship races with it. Starting at the Mecsek Rallye, where everything is connected through dad, is always a special feeling. Tibor Markó and its organization is a special pleasure, it puts together great races, I have no doubt that this year will be a great race as well. My other favorite is the Veszprém Rallye, where I was already able to win, and because of my first place at the Mikulás Rallye, Bakony is also close to my heart, along with Mecsek. But now in June, let's see what we can do with Jane here in Baranya", Péter Ranga concluded our short conversation. Arousing our interest at the same time.
