Career
Nissany is said to have had an unconventional career. He only started racing in 2002, at the relatively late age of 38. He began his career in the 2002 Formula 2000 Hungarian National Championship, and was runner-up in his first season. Since then he has progressed, via Formula 3000, to become a Formula One test driver.
Nissany was Minardi's third driver at the 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix because of the driver's popularity in Hungary. This was announced as a one-off deal, although a deal with Nissany's personal sponsor, UPEX, might have allowed him to participate as Minardi's third driver in additional grands prix.
Nissany was noted for being far off the pace and spinning into a gravel trap in his grand prix Friday debut. He was craned off the circuit whilst still seated in the car as he couldn't remove his steering wheel. He was subsequently replaced by the more able Enrico Toccacelo.

“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
