WTCR Race of Hungary: five to watch

The WTCR - FIA World Touring Car Cup presented by OSCARO heads to the Hungaroring next week. Here are five to watch.

1 Benjamin Lessennes v Attila Tassi: Lessennes, Tiago Monteiro's stand-in at Boutsen Ginion Racing, will be the youngest driver on the grid, albeit by 15 days over Attila Tassi, last year's TCR International runner-up and one of Hungary's big hopes for the future. Who will be the top teen?

2 Dániel Nagy: Twenty-year-old Nagy will be eager to make the most of his wildcard selection as he returns to international competition after one and a half seasons spent battling bad luck in the WTCC. He will drive for M1RA, the team co-founded by Norbert Michelisz.

3 Gianni Morbidelli: The ex-Formula One driver scored his one and only WTCC win at the Hungroring in 2014. Having raced at the track in TCR International last season, the Italian returns in a Team Mulsanne Alfa Romeo Giulietta alongside compatriot Fabrizio Giovanardi.

4 Esteban Guerrieri: With WTCR Race of Morocco not delivering the return Honda-powered Guerrieri had hoped for, expect a backlash from the ALL-INKL.COM Münnich ace Argentine (pictured).

5 Pepe Oriola: Team OSCARO by Campos Racing's Spaniard showed plenty of promise in Morocco and impressed at the Hungaroring in the TCR International Series last season.
