At the beginning of last year, we said that former 125cc World Champion Gabor Talmacsi was at career crossroad, after spending half a season with the now defunct MotoGP team Scot Racing thanks to his sponsor Mol, he was then was ditched at the end of 2010 by Moto2 team Fimmco Speed Up despite finishing 6th in the 2010 championship.
Talmacsi was another rider who was asked to pay for his ride (€600,000) but he refused to beg for money so he could ride and then proceeded to sit out the entire 2011 season, now the Hungarian rider has decided to switch from two wheels to four wheels and will take up a career in rallying in his native country.
He will be driving a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX in the Hungarian Rally Championship, which also includes a round of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
The Hungarian rider now turned driver has previously taken part in several car endurance races.
