Zengő Motorsport is a Hungarian motor racing team founded by Zoltán Zengő. They currently compete in the World Touring Car Championship. The team also used to compete in the SEAT León Eurocup, where they won driver's titles in 2009 and 2010.
The team ran a SEAT León 2.0 TDI in their first WTCC season in 2010 for Norbert Michelisz under the Zengő–Dension Team banner. The team was not eligible for the Yokohama Independent's Trophy because of a protest from other teams just before the season opener, claiming that the team has substantial factory support from SEAT Sport. They scored a point in their first ever WTCC race when Michelisz finished race one of the Race of Brazil in tenth place. Michelisz started second behind Andy Priaulx on the race two reversed grid at the Race of Morocco but stalled his car at the start of the race and went on to finish tenth. He started second behind Priaulx again in race two of the Race of Belgium but a slow start meant he dropped to eighth on the opening lap, he recovered to sixth by the end of the race. Michelisz started on the front row of race two once again at the Race of Portugal and passed pole sitter Fredy Barth at the start. He remained in the lead until lap four when he was passed by Chevrolet RML driver Alain Menu. Michelisz eventually dropped out of the race with water pressure issues. Michelisz retired from race one of the Race of the Czech Republic after clashing with Colin Turkington after the early safety car, also taking out championship leader Yvan Muller. Michelisz finished eighth in the race one of the Race of Germany and therefore started on pole position for race two. He was soon passed at the start by Priaulx and then bumped by Monteiro and dropped further down the order. He had been running eighth when he was tapped by Robert Huff and dropped out of the points to eleventh where he finished the race. After the BMW Team RBM drivers were disqualified from the results of the Race of Japan, Michelisz was promoted to third place in race one to take the first podium result for Zengő Motorsport in the WTCC. Michelisz won the final race of the season at the Race of Macau. He finished the season 9th in the drivers' standings.
