In 2008 he competed in the Hungarian SEAT León Supercup, where he finished as runner-up. He also drove in the SEAT León Eurocup, winning one race at Monza, and finishing 14th overall.

In 2009 he was the best scorer in the León Eurocup round at Porto, winning WTCC participation at Brands Hatch. He went on to win the León Eurocup title in September.
