He also represented Hungary at the Motorsport Games in 2019, competing in the F4 Cup.

In that season alone, he came to win the Formula 4 UAE Championship Certified by FIA with 8 wins and 3 pole positions, and finished second in the Italian Formula 4 Championship Powered by Abarth, putting 3 wins, 7 podiums and one pole position in the books. During the same year, he also competed in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship in Germany.
