About me

I had my very first bike at just 3 years old! It was a year or more before I could ride it, but once I did, the desire to ride was in my blood.

Although I really loved riding, racing was not my focus. At 4 years old I discovered the piano and that became my ambition, to become a pianist. We had a piano at home that I practiced on every day, private piano lessons and attended Vac Music Academy for my first 3 years of high school.

However, by the end of my first season racing competitively in 2021, my ambitions took a 180 degree turn. I moved from the Music Academy to MAMI, which translated into English stands for Hungarian Motorcycle Technical College & Vocational Training School. I also joined the school’s racing Team, HRE - Hungarian Racing Engineering as a rider for the 2022 season.

I still really enjoy to play the piano which is why I have Piano Man and keyboards on my leathers.

This is just the beginning. Only 3 seasons into my racing career I have achieved and done so much, but I know there is much more to come and I hope you will join me on the adventure to come.

2021 - My first full Season

Although I had took part in some amateur races held at track days, it was not until 2021 that I started competing in the National Championship.

Riding for Owen Racing, my father’s team, I took a podium in my first race and won the next!

An unfortunately technical problem in the final race stopped me from winning the championship in my first year and I finished the season 3rd in the 300 Supersport Hungarian Championship.

RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS

Hungarian 300 Championship - Best Result 1st, 3rd Overall

2022 - Season 2

For this season I joined the MAMI school racing team, Hungarian Racing Engineering - HRE.

The main goal was winning the Hungarian Championship with some Wild Card rides in International championships to prepare for 2023.

Hungarian 300 Championship - I started as favorite. However, a last minute change to the championship put an end to this hope. The season was to be run on short, small circuit tracks, not the full size tracks I was used to. With zero experience on this tight and slow tracks and competing against riders who had raced this circuits for years, things did not got to plan!

Many crashes and missed rounds due to Wild Card rides I finished 4th overall.

British Junior 300 Championship - Wild Card. Held at the World Superbike UK round, at Donington Park as a support race, the British championship is one of the toughest National Championships in the world. 

We had no expectations, it was purely for experience. I managed to set the fastest 2nd sector down the notorious craner curves and managed inside the top 20.

IDM Wild Card - Red Bull Ring. Did Not Start! A bad crash in qualifying resulted to a trip to the Hospital and the end to my weekend without starting a race.

RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS

Hungarian 300 - Best result 3rd - 4th Overall

British Junior - 20th

2023 - Season 3

What a year this has been. Winter testing in Spain and Italy on 3 Motogp circuits, competing in the IDM, Alpe Adria, FIM European 300 Supersport and Hungarian championships, it has certainly been eventful.

In winter testing alone we had the equivalent of a full season riding in just 9 days!

IDM - or as we called it, “The mini World Cup!” For the 2023 season the top IDM teams decided to bring the World Championship riders to compete in the IDM championship. This meant at some rounds there would be 7 regular World Championship riders on the grid. And not back markers either, but race winners and series leaders.

The result was, just getting into the top 20 in my rookie year would be a great result. I was 19th in my second race at Sachsenring!

ALPE ADRIA - A long standing International Championship for the more Eastern countries of Europe

FIM European Championship - Ran along side the Alpe Adria championship, this became my focus mid season. Mid season I was standing 4th overall and pushed to try and take 3rd. Mixed results and a wild card rider taking points unfortunately resulted in 5th overall. Next year!

RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS

IDM - Best finish 19th

ALPE ADRIA - Best finish 4th, 8th overall

FIM European 300 - Best finish 3rd, 5th overall

Hungarian 300 - Best finish 2nd, 2nd overall.

After finishing strong last season, I was confident I could improve on my results and fight for the championship. My winter training went acording to plan, I was ready to start testing and get my first win. But racing is full of surprises. On the 5th lap of testing I got knocked off by another rider and got an open cut to the back of my knee. Not the ideal start to the season with two weeks of rehab before the first round of the Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship.

The first half of the season was tough, but we didn’t give up and by the second half of the year we were fighting for race wins, leading races and setting fastest laps!

Results Highlights

Alpe Adria - Best Finish 4th, fifth overall

FIM European 300 - Best finish 3rd, 4th overall

Hungarian 300 - Best finish 1st, 2nd overall

2025 - Season 5

A new chapter begins. after riding in the Supersport 300 category it was time for something new. For this season I changed to the all new Kawasaki ZX4-RR. The screaming 400cc inline 4 was set to compete in the Kawasaki ZX4-RR Inteernational Cup by Minden Moto. An interesting fact about the company behind the series, it’s my Father’s company! He became the official Race Department for Kawasaki Austria, go check out his website for more info on bike builds, the championship and more!

So… back to the season. We started testing the bike and I felt comfortable straight away! I felt this year I could fight for the title and constantly improve, and it was an exciting season to say the least!
With the championship being new, Alpe Adria decided to put us together with the Sportbike category, against the likes of Yamaha R7s, Aprilia RS660s, which also made the season exciting fighting against those bikes and seeing where each bike is better!

 After battling all year and winning my first ever International race, I ended up finishing runner-up in the kawasaki ZX4-RR International Cup, but  my season wasn’t over…

RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS

ALPE ADRIA Sportbike- Best finish 2nd, 3rd overall

Kawasaki ZX4-RR Cup - Best finish 1st, 2nd overall

2025 ended with a surprise none of us expected. The plans were set to compete in the final round of the WorldSBK Supersport 300 category. We’d enter as a team, with the bike I raced in 2024 and do our best as always. Unfortunatley, the grid slots were already full, so the plan fell through. Untill the unexpected! DORNA sent us an email asking if I could replace an injured rider for the last two rounds!
We said yes and started to do weeks of planning in just 6 days!!! 
But as always in racing, there was a twist. Not only I didn’t know the tracks, the team, I also didn’t know the bike. I wasn’t on a Kawasaki, like before, I took the challange to race on a Yamaha for my first two weekends un the WorldSBK paddock!

The challange was a lot harder than expected. Learning the track wasn’t difficult, bzt the bike was a completley different story. I just had zero front feeling and lost all confidence after having two crashes in one day. That’s more than what I had all season! Unfortunatley I didn’t manage to qulify on either of the two races, which at first was infuriating as I know I am lot bettter than that. But later on looking back I realised the lesson behind it all and was able to see the positives of being there after only riding for five years.

I still don’t regret going to this day as I know that I still learned a lot more and that this lesson will help me prepare for the next season!

A dream come true
