Zoltán "Cigány" Varga[note 1] (born March 11, 1964, in Budapest) is a Hungarian rally driver, known for his storytelling, jokes and good humour.
[clarification needed] His father was an engineer in the Weapon and Gas Appliance Factory, but died in a football match at only 63 years old.
He would buy matchboxes, such as a Wartburg or a Polski Fiat and revamp some of them into rally racing cars.
He became disinterested in schooling as rally racing season approached, and was known to cause trouble for his teachers during this time.
He spent a lot of money redesigning his BMW, revamping it into a powerful vehicle with a 2300 cc, 300-Horsepower engine, a 6-gear shift and a large differential.
