  • Michal made his rally debut in 2019, laying the foundations of the Energylandia Rally Team together with his brother Marek. In his debut season, he won the Polish Cross-Country Cup in the overall classification, and a year later he triumphed in the entire 2020 Polish Championship in the T4 category.
  • He has extensive Dakar experience, combined with numerous stage victories in the world’s toughest rally, as well as in various rounds of the World Championship in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Michal took part in the Dakar Rally for the first time in 2021 and immediately secured the first place in the rookie classification in the T4 category (4th overall).
  • In 2022, together with his brother, they were undoubtedly the fastest crews, winning 8 out of the 12 stages in the T4 class (SSV). In 2023, the team was joined by Marek’s 18-year-old son, Eryk Goczał.
  • During the 2025 season, together with the rest of the Energylandia Rally Team, Michal began his adventure in the premier Ultimate class, competing with a Toyota Hilux T1+.
  • Michal used to have Szymon Gospodarczyk on the seat right next to him during several years. Szymon is now competing in this 2026 edition as the copilot of Eryk, Michal's nephew, while Diego Ortega is replacing Szymon. This is the first Dakar in the same car for Michal and Diego.
