Norbert "Norbi" Kiss (born 2 May 1985 in Szombathely) is a Hungarian professional truck racer and a six-time champion of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship, widely regarded as one of the most accomplished motorsport athletes from Hungary.

Career

Kiss initiated his motorsport journey through racing simulators like Live for Speed, where he first gained attention. In 2005, he briefly participated in the Opel Astra Cup, achieving four victories and earning the title of Rookie of the Year. The next year, he excelled in the Hungarian Renault Clio Cup by winning ten races and securing another Rookie of the Year accolade. In 2007, representing IMC Motorsport, Kiss claimed victory in the inaugural Hungarian SEAT León Cup, outperforming competitors such as Gábor Wéber. He successfully defended this championship in 2008, facing strong rivalry from Wéber and Norbert Michelisz.

During 2009, Kiss competed simultaneously in the Suzuki Swift Cup—where he won eight races—and in Formula Renault, finishing as runner-up overall. His 2010 campaign with Zengő Motorsport in the Spanish SEAT León Supercopa included one win and several podium finishes; despite missing the final rounds due to vehicle damage, he completed the season ranked sixth.

Kiss earned his initial two titles in the European Truck Racing Championship consecutively in 2014 and 2015. He later secured three additional championships in 2021, 2022—clinching the title with five events remaining—and again in both 2023 and 2024, solidifying his leading position within truck racing.

Alongside his real-world racing career, Kiss has been actively involved in virtual motorsports. Since joining Team Racewerk.com—a German simracing outfit sponsored by a hardware manufacturer—in 2021, he has accumulated numerous victories and podiums in endurance competitions such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours and DNLS SP9 class championships with Mercedes-AMG E-Sports Team HTR. In 2022, he became a brand ambassador for getcloserracing and regularly competes in online endurance events on iRacing, expanding his influence within virtual racing communities.
