The first round of the winter season was held at the RC Arena carpet in Budapest. János Birinyi took the TQ position with confident driving during the qualifications, making a great debut for the new 2016 version of the T4.
In the first final János fell back to the second place after an unfortunate mistake, handing a win over to Barnabás Tóth. The second final brought a clean win for János, so the overall decision left for the last final. Fortunately János won the third final and secured the overall win in the Stock 13.5T category.
