SPRINGTIME OUR WAY
Come springtime and here we are: over the hills and far away, wasting no time, out for the bliss of driving along the finest of roads in the uplands. Nature coming back to live is a soothing view and yet it invigorates to look for adventure. Adventurous were also the cars we’ve driven – a choice of roadsters, the species purpose-built for absorbing roads and for the fun of driving. Where roads really live under the wheels, meandering in three dimensions, we keep reminded about the treasure of lightness. Engines, no matter how powerful, or even the best of suspension calibration can’t buy you the lightness, the sheer low vehicle weight, unless it is there in the first place. Faithful to this rule, we took with us a mix of today’s icons and some sports cars legends well over a dozen years old.

SUPERCAR CLUB’S MOTORSPORT ACADEMY
It is a common beginner mistake of anybody involving in motorsport for the first time to only consider it as competition, as the clock and rivals to beat. And then, to venture onto deep water too soon usually means bitter costs – financial at best. To promote more fluent and gradual entry into competition motorsport we have launched under our Supercar Club the Motorsport Academy. Starting with pleasure of sound and assured driving and then raising the level enables you to check your potential and then to make reasonable and informed plans for further development. The first days of spring saw on an a racetrack for everybody to test his speed under vigilant eye of our professional instructors. This was also an opportunity to experience a broad scope of sensations at the wheel, changing between agile FWD sports cars and rabid, rally-prepared AWDs. If there is another new wave of hidden talents among us, this is the screen for them to emerge.

FROZEN
The associations with the Disney movie is not accidental. In Åre in central Sweden, on a frozen lake, driving AWD cars on studded tyres, men grow younger and really become children. Timidly in the beginning, with much respect for the kinetics and the inertia when there’s only so much grip. With much apprehension because it’s so different than driving supercars on a dry tarmac. Then with more and more brio as the confidence builds up. Until the moment comes when you manage to throw the car right into the curve at a speed approaching 100 kph. This particular feeling cannot be compared to anything else experienced at the wheel. The obedience you get from a powerful car in the element of snow and ice all around, the pleasure of steering with the right pedal… and still we go there for more. If Supercar Club Poland’s 2019 Ice Driving event attracted most participants in years, it’s for the unique atmosphere of this special winter outing. Thank you guys for who you are!

SUPERCAR CLUBBING
The world of motoring is a great deal of passion but then again it’s not everything. We celebrated the final days of the Carnival in the style of New York’s night club Studio 54, if in Warsaw-based SEN club. As the master of ceremony mixing for us we had JellyBean Benitez, the iconic DJ from 254 West 54th Street and a former producer for Madonna. The mood was really unique and very inspiring for planning our club’s programme for 2019.

WINTER WEATHER. THE SNOW CAMP IN OUR LANGUAGE
The second edition of our driving on snow is mission complete. We just couldn’t stay indifferent knowing the locals speak about winter of the decade in Subcarpathia. So much snow staying for so long is uncommon in Poland’s mountain range any more. It was another nice surprise for us after the wonderful sunny weather that came in April 2018 to never relent until November. So how it was? Faster this time around, and more ballsy: as skills improve, you may dare to reach an inch or two beyond the initial defensive safe-side. More dynamic driving means more challenge to the driver as it takes quicker reactions, earlier decisions and better guessing about the grip for the rubber. Minute after minute this melts down to a trance where intuition becomes more essential than reflexes of daily commute driving. That’s how we develop and gain more resilience to sudden traps which are always lurking out there in the craft of driving supercars.
