Kiss thanks FIA ETRC fans after winning first Goodyear Wingfoot Award
Norbert Kiss thanked fans after he was voted as the recipient of the first Goodyear Wingfoot Award presented in the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship.
The reigning champion joined Antonio Albacete and Lukas Hahn on the Goodyear Wingfoot Award shortlist and received 54 per cent of the vote when fans were given the chance to choose their driver of the Misano weekend.
“Thank you to the fans for voting for me for the Goodyear Wingfoot Award,” Kiss said. “I’m really happy about this because it’s a really nice award. Coming from the fans, coming from Goodyear, this award is there in some very highly regarded series, so I'm really happy they brought it to truck racing as well. To be the first one, in history, in truck racing, to win it. I'm really happy.”
Lukas Hahn received 31 per cent of the vote with Antonio Albacate, the third shortlisted driver, pooling 15 per cent of the vote.
Already presented in several major series, including the FIA World Endurance Championship, European Le Mans Series and the British Touring Car Championship, the Goodyear Wingfoot Award recognises driver performance and achievement in the Goodyear FIA ETRC.

At each of the seven Goodyear FIA ETRC events, a panel of experts from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, and Goodyear will nominate three drivers following Race 3, based on their overall performance during the race weekend, their sporting behaviour and highlights on track. Fans will then be able to vote for their driver of the weekend via Instagram from the shortlist of candidates during Race 4.
The winner is announced as part of the live broadcast coverage of Race 4 and presented with the Goodyear Wingfoot Award on the final podium.
Based on Goodyear’s iconic winged-foot logo, which is inspired by the Roman god Mercury, the Goodyear Wingfoot Award is designed to further engage fans throughout the season, while highlighting performances and moments that reflect the sporting values of the Goodyear FIA ETRC.
