Engstler, driving a Hyundai i30 N TCR for his family outfit, Engstler Hyundai N Liqui Moly Racing Team, topped the WTCR Rookie Driver order in Race 1, for what was the 20-year-old German’s first category win.

Home-grown hope Boldizs, 23, won Race 2 having started from the reverse-grid DHL Pole Position in his Zengő Motorsport CUPRA Leon Competición TCR.

It was then left to WTCR Rookie Driver points leader Gilles Magnus, 21, to complete the action-packed weekend’s list of winners by taking victory in his Comtoyou Racing Audi RS 3 LMS, which is supported by Belgium’s ASN, the RACB.

Nineteen-year-old Nico Gruber made his WTCR debut in Hungary and finished in the points in all three races, including a top-three in the WTCR Rookie Driver section in Race 2.

The Austrian linked up with Engstler for the Hungaroring weekend and benefited from his team-mate’s retirement in Race 2 for his WTCR Rookie Driver podium, when contact from a rival driver sent Engstler crashing out.

“It’s big thanks to the team,” Engstler said after his mechanics raced to repair his badly damaged Hyundai in time for Race 3. “It's amazing what these guys are able to do and it showed me that they do that with so much passion and they really loved to see me in the car and on the grid, so amazing job by them. We made good progress and now we will prepare for the next race in Aragón.”

After 10 races, Magnus heads Boldizs in the standings by 84 points with Engstler third.
