The big man from the old team is still together today: he is 50 years old at Pécsi Volán
In 1971, the CEO of Volán Tröszt, István Tóth, called on his twenty-two companies to establish a motorsport division. In addition to Bp. Volán, which already has a five-year history, Győr, Eger, Pécs and Nyíregyháza, and later Kaposvár, also entered. In January 1971, the Pécsi Volán SC Motorsport Department was first established. He is 82 years old today László Perjés, a former department head guides us back to the heroic age.
He supported the organization János Pap director and Rudolf Dubovánszky deputy technical director. The activists of the Magyar Autóklub in Pécs were called to help, Endre Sági under his management, they recruited the competitors in the Budapest clubs, mainly at Áfor, Árpád Bálint, László Grünwald, László Valcsics Four I. class rally and ten II. class, the division was founded with a touring competitor.
"In 1972, at the encouragement of József Gelencsér, I took on the department management. Árpád Füzi thanks to the director, our racing car fleet, which grew as a result of our management system started in 1973/74, attracted talented competitors. By raising our own supply, we won the second place behind Bp. Volán in the series of divisions. In 1975, we got our own club room and workshop from Volán, the developments and tunings made here became sensational - that's how it was Lajos Kardos His 90-horsepower track-Wartburg, Tibor Homan A Lada engine nicknamed "Mona Lisa" - lists the former cool brands.
"We were able to inaugurate champions in almost every category, in the Trabant, Wartburg, series Lada and Gruppe 2 Lada 1300 machine classes, for years only drivers and pairs from Pécs could stand on the top step of the podium. It has become an icon of our youth education László Ranga after your great navigators Mihály Dudás In 1987, they were the first in our division to win the absolute Hungarian championship with Lada VFTS. Ranga Laci's achievements were also recognized by the management with corporate status", László Perjés flashed a "bonus", well-proven in socialism, which is no longer understandable to today's young people.
"Between 1987 and 1991, we organized five mountain European races on the Abaligeti road course, which today bears the name of László Ranga. This has been going on for a long time, to Lapis. All along, he provided significant help to Bp. Volan, mainly György Reisz department manager, even though we fought tough competitive battles not only on the courts, sometimes also at the green table, there were times when we filed a warning against Bp. Volán, but lifelong friendships were born in these years.
In 1990-91, in the wake of the system change, the first one-man associations were formed in Hungary, successful competitors left, which also affected us, so in 1995 the department was closed, Mecsek took over the organization of the Rallyes for decades István Jelen Several of our colleagues - among others Zoli Pánics, Pál Dránovits and Tamás dr. Berky - then he excelled in the field of sports diplomacy. ” lists the reasons leading to the disintegration of the legendary club.
"Currently, 15-20 of its 29 stable members participate in the bi-weekly meeting of the Pécsi Volán Car Racing Friends Circle. We celebrate birthdays every five years and organize trips. Our average age is well over 75, and seven of us are already over 80. To this day, our only active competitor, 70-year-old Mátyás Keszler, reminds the spectators of the glorious years of the Pécs motorsport citadel," says László Perjés in farewell.
