• The 49-year-old driver has been racing since he was a teenager, winning a national title in classic rally and competing in quads, but at the time he couldn’t afford to pursue a career in motorsport. Instead he focused on business and became a successful entrepreneur, with a portfolio that includes Poland’s biggest nightclub (Energy2000) and its biggest theme park (Energylandia).
• A few years ago, Marek decided to get back into motorsport and began competing in cross-country events with his younger brother Michal. They set up the Energylandia Rally team and eventually worked their way up to a first Dakar participation in 2021.
• Dakar 2023 has been a memorable edition for them, with Marek finishing 3rd in the SSVs, while his 18-year-old son Eryk won the race and his brother Michal helped them to achieve this double-podium.
• Three years later, and after dominating the SSV category, the team tackled the Challenger class. It took the Rallye du Maroc as a preparation race before Dakar 2024.
• Four years after their first cross-country international appearance, Marek and his son are on the way to achieve their goal : fighting with the lords in Ultimate class.
