Career
Benedek Vida (2006) was born into the world of motorsports. His father, Zoltán Vida used to be a mechanic for Főnix Motorsport, a Hungarian GT and Touring Car racing team. Benedek was seven years old when he first tried a kart and enjoyed the way he could control and slide the machine. Initially, he was mentored by his father who taught him the techniques of competitive karting.
Following some amateur level racing, he won the ‘Hope of the Future’ award in the 2015 Hungarian Hobby Cart Cup organized as part of the Hungarian Amateur Karting Championship of the Hungarian National Motorsport Association (MNASZ). A year later, in 2016 he claimed the championship title and the ‘Racer of the Year’ and ‘Qualifier of the year’ special prizes. After his initial success with rental karts, he also gained experience with a racing kart; after half an hour of testing he closed in on the pole position lap time with a high mileage engine and used tires.
