Tamas Pal Kiss stays on with Zele for 2014 Auto GP season

Kiss joined the category for his home event at the Hungaroring last year for Italian team MLR 71.

A switch to Michael Zele's eponymous team next time out at Silverstone yielded a podium, and the Hungarian continued at Zele for two further meetings.

"It's good to be back at a place where you know people," said Kiss, who had been linked to a potential move to rival Virtuosi UK in 2014 after testing for the Norfolk-based outfit over the close season.

"My expectations are high, because the cooperation with the team was already very good last year.

"From what Michael told me, they have gained more experience and [entered into] several technical partnerships, so everything seems ready for us to battle at the front."

Zele added that he was pleased to secure the service of Kiss, who claimed fifth in last year's Auto GP drivers' standings despite sitting out the opening four races.

"Tamas proved his skills last season and it is nice to have him on board again," said Zele.

"He has great potential and we believe that we can take another step together this season."
