We can say that he will definitely be here this time <em>Matulik M\u00e1t\u00e9val<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p><p>\"Yes, that's right, we will be at the competition again. Even I didn't count exactly, but I'll really get through thirty starts, that's for sure. Back in the eighties, I started in rally2 for the first time. Series with Zsiguli, with which I immediately won the category. There were races with a fantastic atmosphere back then. Struggle, but also a family atmosphere. If I close my eyes, I always see my father waiting at the stoplights. A multitude of unforgettable experiences to this day,\" reflects the nostalgic Zsolt Lajtai.<\/p><p>\"Then we switched to VFTS. Well, that was a very tough car at the time. More and more of them started in the field, it was extremely stimulating to fight against so many opponents. Our best domestic result in Mecse was an absolute 2nd place, just then <em>Szab\u00f3 Tam\u00e1s<\/em> he was able to overtake with a BMW M3... With the Lada, we even had several podium finishes here, in the domestic environment, but also in other places in the country. I remember that period with great fondness,\" says Zsolt proudly.<\/p><p>\"Then came the Toyota Celica, a milestone in my life. Western racing car, with all-wheel drive. We were able to go with version N, but even with that we achieved very good results in absolute terms. It was an experience to compete in the 90s, there were a lot of spectators, the number of entries in rally 1 was never below a hundred cars. Then, much later, almost to the present day, I now look back, in 2019 I took up the fight with the young people here in Mecse with an all-wheel drive Mitsubishi. It was a great experience. Such opportunities still keep me alive,\" says Zsolt Lajtai with sparkling eyes.<\/p><p>\"I'm in good shape even at the age of 64, I always say, the stopwatch shows how I am, because he doesn't know me. If the weather is good, I will not stop, if I see that it is going less and less, I will hang the helmet on a nail. However, I am also developing the Ford Escort. I would also like to use Szeleczky's ample 15-year-old WRC chassis under the car so that I can put 18-inch wheels on it. Not yet, it hasn't been completed yet, but this also shows that if it's up to me, I'll be here in the field of the 56th Mecsek Rallye\" - we conclude with Zsolt Lajtai, who irrevocably entered his name in the memory book of Hungary's most storied race.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90e1002 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"90e1002\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lajtai Zsolt a Mecsek Rallye egyik cs\u00facstart\u00f3ja Bizony, a Mecsek Rallye 55 futamra visszatekint\u0151 t\u00f6rt\u00e9nelm\u00e9ben nincs Lajtai Zsolton k\u00edv\u00fcl senki m\u00e1s, aki t\u00f6bb mint harmincadj\u00e1ra \u00e1llna rajthoz.
