WSBK HUNGARIAN ROUND | WorldSSP Race 1 Victory 2026

Time: May 2ⁿᵈ 2026

Location: Balaton Park Circuit, Balatonfőkajár, Hungary

The 2026 WorldSSP Hungary Round delivered another milestone for ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing Team. On May 2ⁿᵈ at Balaton Park Circuit, Valentin Debise secured victory in Race 1 with a decisive last-lap overtake to claim his third win of the 2026 season. The result was achieved under the team's first event without new manufacturer concessions, proving its competitiveness under the same technical regulations as every other factory in the championship.

TARNS was the exclusive forged wheel supplier for ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing Team. TARNS forged wheels combined lightweight construction, high rigidity, and race-proven reliability to support consistent braking performance, predictable handling, and stable control throughout the race.

Performance Validation Under Equal Regulations

The Hungary round marked the fourth event for the ZXMOTO 820RR-RS and the first race after the manufacturer concession period ended. Competing with mandatory ballast and reduced engine performance, the team faced equal performance regulations alongside every established manufacturer in the WorldSSP field.

The 18-lap race covered approximately 73.35 km and placed continuous demands on every component through sustained high-speed sections and repeated heavy braking zones. TARNS forged wheels maintained structural stability and consistent performance under race conditions. Their lightweight design and manufacturing precision supported stable chassis response, predictable braking behaviour, and consistent lap times throughout the full race distance.

The race changed on Lap 13 when the leading rider, Garcia, crashed while attempting to maintain the lead. Debise remained composed through the closing laps before executing a decisive overtaking move on the final lap to secure victory. The result demonstrated endurance stability, high-speed control, and the confidence to perform under maximum competitive pressure.

Performance Proven at the Highest Level

This Hungary victory represents more than a third win of the season. It marks the first WorldSSP victory for ZXMOTO after entering full competition without concession advantages. The result validates the competitiveness of the complete racing package under identical technical regulations and further demonstrates the reliability of TARNS forged wheels in world-level racing.

Every race provides another opportunity to validate TARNS engineering under real competition conditions. Through consistent performance across high-speed circuits, long race distances, and demanding braking zones, TARNS continues to demonstrate the manufacturing quality, structural stability, and race-proven reliability required to compete at the highest level of international motorcycle racing.
