Michelisz: With the grey, I think it looks proper aggressive

Norbert Michelisz says he’s happy with the “aggressive” paint job on his Honda Civic WTCC.

Michelisz, who began life as a factory driver in the FIA World Touring Car Championship with a double podium in WTCC JVCKENWOOD Race of France last weekend, is carrying a white, red and grey colour scheme on his Honda Racing Team JAS entry.

Asked about his car’s new look, Michelisz explained: “It’s a team decision. We have three cars, we had two cars last year. We have a sponsorship deal in the background and of course it’s a decision you have to make if you have these kinds of negotiations. I’m totally happy with my colours, I have to say, although green, white and red is a bit like the Hungarian flag so I miss a bit of green. But with the grey, I think it looks proper aggressive so I’m happy.”

Michelisz, twice a privateer champion in the WTCC, is fourth in the title standings following the opening two races of the season at Circuit Paul Ricard.
