WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE?
An opportunity to test the world’s best cars in their classes, on the road and all in one day, is rather uncommon or plainly unique. In our Club we call it Supercar Day. The choice? It’s quite obvious. For a mighty GT coupé we take Ferrari F12. A quick and irrational one – that must be Lamborghini Aventador. Porsche 911 Turbo S for a dose of something reasonable to balance things off. A roadster? Of course, the best we’ve ever driven: Audi R8 V10. And then some more supercars, each having its own niche in terms of various aspects of driving pleasure. The recent weekend is going to be fondly remembered by our Club members. That kind of experience makes it clear which car is money well spent and which is not. The fastest isn’t always the best. The most impressive rarely occurs practical. All in all, the best is the one you find most satisfying on the road.

Monster Truck & Wrack Race
Tough guys don’t just drive cars – instead, they use them to grapple and wrestle. A horde of raging men in fierce rivalry for the finish line in the total demolition race. With blood, sweat and tears matching the jangling sound of main bearings seized up, gearboxes ground to scrap metal and dampers popping up through bonnets – this is our perfectly normal annual Wreck Race. And then, once the smoke settles down, what’s the use of what remained of cars? You can imagine that considering we also had a monster truck this time. To be perfectly earnest, it’s the kind of machinery we’d gladly see in our club’s fleet as weapon to handle Warsaw’s traffic jams.

PRACTICE MAKES... CLUB MEMBERS
Back in 1970s safe speed was a slogan postulated by a legendary rally champion Mr. Sobiesław Zasada. We couldn’t agree more. In our approach, safety in a car stems from awareness, focus and skills which hardly come from pure theory or slow-motion drills around a couple of cones. Instead, regular and well-planned practice is the answer. It’s much in the same way as in the gym – can you get fit by running or lifting weights only now and then? Since the beginning of the club season we are regular guests at racetracks and then we practice healthy road driving, honing our survival skills in the jungle of Polish trunk roads. It’s an immense satisfaction to us seeing our club members start from a rough and basic level and some years later come to rank in the upper echelon of our country’s rallying and racing events.

OUR WEEKEND VISIT AT KUBA’s
Polish hospitality is nothing short of legendary. Now we know that for sure, having had a real proof recently. After a weekend spent at Kuba’s in Beskid highlands we are first to attest what we experienced is yet to be surpassed. Of course we never lose an opportunity if there are some mountain road passes around – and so we did this time not at all restricting ourselves to stationary viewpoints. Great thanks Kuba for everything you gave us! Next time you are welcome in lowlands which doesn’t mean lower levels – absolutely not.

FORMULA 3.5 ON THE RED BULL RING
For a normal road-going driver nothing ever compares to sheer kinetic sensations felt in pure racing single-seater, if he ever has an opportunity to drive one, of course. The impression stems from a contact with really uncompromising machinery, purpose-built for performance and ruthlessly maximising three parameters that count: braking, cornering and accelerating. What we’ve experienced during our trip to Spielberg in Austria escapes any comparisons. Several dozens laps made in Formula 4.0 and 3.5 Renault racing cars around the Red Bull Ring redefined our concepts of grip or speed. Sole figures (500 hp and 600 kg) are sorely not enough to describe the endless potential of these machines. If there is anything on par with sensations behind their wheel, it is the utmost professionalism the team of racing engineers and mechanics reveals at work in the pit stop. We come back stunned, delighted and… never going to be quite the same again.
