\u0141ukasz By\u015bkiniewicz and Daniel Siatkowski took 2nd place in the overall standings of the Valvoline Ma\u0142opolska Rally, the third round of the Polish Rally Championship. The TVN TURBO RALLY TEAM crew competed for the win over the course of three days, with the final margins between the top competitors measured in single seconds. <\/p>\n\n

This year\u2019s edition of the rally featured one of the most evenly matched and thrilling competitions of the season so far. From the very first special stage, By\u015bkiniewicz and Siatkowski remained among the leaders, effectively battling the Szej brothers, Jaros\u0142aw and Marcin. <\/p>\n\n

After the first day of competition, the TVN TURBO RALLY TEAM crew was in the lead by 1.2 seconds. At the end of the second stage, the gap was just 0.3 seconds, which promised an extremely close finish. The final results were decided during the third stage of the rally on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n

After completing nearly 150 kilometers of special stages, \u0141ukasz By\u015bkiniewicz and Daniel Siatkowski finished in 2nd place in the overall standings. They finished just 7.3 seconds behind the winners. This was the team\u2019s third second-place finish in this year\u2019s RSMP season. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt<\/em>was a very exciting rally for us, our team, the fans along the route, and those following the action on TV and online. For three days, we fought a fierce battle for the win against the Szej brothers. We traded victories on the special stages. Every blow we landed was met with an immediate response. The arena consisted of hellishly difficult, winding, and narrow special stages where it was often possible to cut corners. A small mistake or a moment\u2019s hesitation could send you off the road, as many crews found out the hard way. I consider the Valvoline Ma\u0142opolska Rally to be the toughest of the season. That makes us all the more pleased with our second-place finish. I\u2019m also pleased with our two victories on the new Lanckorona stage. This is our third second-place finish this season, which gives us a lot of points toward the annual standings. We\u2019re also in second place in the overall standings, just 5 points behind the leaders. In just three weeks, we\u2019ll be competing in the most important rally event in our country\u2014the Polish Rally\u2014which will take place on the last weekend of July,\u201d<\/em> said \u0141ukasz By\u015bkiniewicz after the rally. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The route of the Valvoline Ma\u0142opolska Rally was one of the most demanding of this year\u2019s season. The narrow, winding, and technical stages left no room for error, and even the slightest hesitation could mean losing precious seconds or veering off the road. <\/p>\n\n

One of the crew\u2019s most significant achievements was setting the two fastest times on the Lanckorona special stage, which returned to the Polish Rally Championship calendar after many years. It is an iconic stage, known from the history of the Krak\u00f3w Rally and the rivalry between drivers such as Krzysztof Ho\u0142owczyc, Janusz Kulig, Leszek Kuzaj, and Tomasz Kuchar. <\/p>\n\n

For \u0141ukasz By\u015bkiniewicz, this was his first race on this course. The varying pace, differing traction, road width, and significant elevation changes made his success at Lanckorona particularly meaningful. Achieving the best result twice made it all the more satisfying. <\/p>\n\n

During the Valvoline Ma\u0142opolska Rally, Daniel Siatkowski replaced \u0141ukasz Jastrz\u0119bski. The team\u2019s regular co-driver was competing in the Rally of Rome, a round of the European Rally Championship, at the time. <\/p>\n\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m<\/em>very happy that I was able to help \u0141ukasz achieve another great result in this year\u2019s Polish Rally Championship. I was filling in for \u0141ukasz Jastrz\u0119bski, who was competing in the Rally of Rome\u2014a round of the European Rally Championship\u2014at the same time. I really enjoy the Valvoline Ma\u0142opolska Rally. We\u2019ve always left here with fond memories, and this time was no different. \u201cI\u2019m glad I was able to compete, take a break from my daily responsibilities, and experience real rally competition at the highest level,\u201d<\/em> added Daniel Siatkowski. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

With another podium finish, the TVN TURBO RALLY TEAM has solidified its second-place position in the season standings. After three rounds of the Polish Rally Championship, the team trails the leaders by just 5 points. The battle for the championship title therefore remains wide open. <\/p>\n\n

The team faces another major challenge. At the end of July, the drivers will compete in the Rally of Poland, one of the most important and prestigious rally events held in our country. <\/p>\n\n

Blachy Pruszy\u0144ski Company is one of the sponsors of the TVN TURBO RALLY TEAM. We\u2019re thrilled to support the team as they compete in the Polish Rally Championship, and we\u2019re keeping our fingers crossed for more podium finishes and continued success in the season standings. <\/p>\n\n
