Based in Hungary, Zengő Motorsport built its early reputation in single-make competition, winning the SEAT León Eurocup drivers' title in both 2009 and 2010. Those successes established the team's credentials before it graduated to the more demanding World Touring Car Championship, where it would spend the majority of the following decade.
The team made its WTCC debut in 2010 running a SEAT León 2.0 TDI under the Zengő–Dension Team banner for Norbert Michelisz. Although a pre-season protest from rival outfits — who claimed the squad had substantial SEAT Sport factory backing — stripped the team of eligibility for the Yokohama Independent's Trophy, Michelisz still delivered meaningful results. He scored a point on debut in Brazil and, after a promotion following disqualifications at the Race of Japan, collected Zengő's first WTCC podium. He capped the season by winning the final race of the year at Macau.
For 2011 the team switched to the BMW 320 TC, regaining Independent Trophy eligibility. Michelisz achieved the team's best result to that point with a second-place finish at the Race of Hungary, and ended the year fourth in the Yokohama Driver's Trophy. A second car for Gábor Wéber was added at the start of 2012, though financial pressures periodically reduced the team to a single-car entry across the calendar. The 2012 campaign brought Michelisz his first WTCC pole position at the Race of Slovakia and a home race victory at the Race of Hungary. He closed out 2012 by claiming the WTCC Yokohama Independent Drivers' Trophy.
From 2013 onwards Zengő Motorsport switched to a Honda Civic 1.6T built by the JAS Motorsport works operation. Michelisz remained the team's cornerstone driver and continued as its frontrunner in the Independent category. In 2016 the team expanded to two cars, introducing Ferenc Ficza and Dániel Nagy alongside Michelisz, and in 2017 Aurélien Panis and Zsolt Szabó shared the second seat across the season's rounds.
When the FIA restructured the global touring car series into the World Touring Car Cup for 2018, Zengő Motorsport transitioned to the TCR format, entering a pair of CUPRA León TCR cars. The team participated as a wild card in 2019 — making it ineligible to score championship points — before returning as a full entry in 2020 with three drivers and the updated CUPRA León Competición TCR.
In 2021 Zengő split its operation across two entities: Zengő Motorsport Services KFT as the main team and a junior programme called Zengő Motorsport Drivers' Academy, each fielding two cars and drivers. By 2022 the squad had consolidated back into a single two-driver outfit.
Outside the WTCC and WTCR, the team entered the 2013 European Touring Car Cup with a pair of SEAT León Supercopas in the single-makes trophy, fielding Ferenc Ficza and Norbert Nagy under a joint venture with MNASZ Track Racing called the Zengő Junior Team. The team also participated in the Pure ETCR electric touring car series and various other national and regional championships.
After stepping back from the WTCR, Zengő Motorsport moved into junior open-wheel competition by entering the 2025 Formula 4 CEZ Championship season with Benett Gáspár as the team's sole driver.
Zengő Motorsport stands as Hungary's most prominent representative in international touring car racing. The team gave Norbert Michelisz the platform through which he developed into one of the WTCC/WTCR era's respected independent racers, with a race victory at Macau in 2010 and the Yokohama Independent title in 2012 among the clearest markers of that partnership's success. The team's longevity across format changes — from SEAT to BMW to Honda to CUPRA — reflects an adaptability unusual among privateer touring car operations.
