Ferenc Bodogán – István Márton Dudás (Lada VFTS)
A racing driver, like any athlete, is naturally driven by achieving the best result from race to race, but sometimes they can also just drive their cars for fun. The Bodogán-Dudás duo is starting this year's Mecsek Rally purely out of love for the tracks.
Your year has started very well so far, what do you expect at the Mecsek Rally?
We expect a further successful continuation. And a good atmosphere, many spectators, and having a good time. We will go to our own entertainment.
What do you do to achive that?
I have a very nice friend, László Hudák, who does everything he can to make sure the car is 100%. He only focuses on making sure we have a good time this weekend.
Do you have a mascot or a ritual that you use before competitions?
We have one ritual, we suck orange TikTak to relax. Before every speedway, at every race, for decades.
.
Then you are a serious consumer of orange TikTak..,
Yeps.
How do you feel about the Mecsek tracks?
I love them so much. We only go back to Mecsek because it's our favorite race of the year. We love it when we have to go at night, we love it when it's narrow, when it's bumpy, when it's gravel, when there are forest sections...it's really a race for Lada to the core.
