Rally Poland is the greatest rally festival in Poland. I am glad it made its way back to WRC calendar. This is a big favour to the rally. Fans get an unique opportunity to watch top-tier Rally1 cars, driven by top guys on our beloved Masurian gravel stages. I am so proud to see Polish flag in WRC calendar. Current Rally1 machinery remind me of legendary group B cars. Of course, they have much better handling, but believe me – they are extremely impressive. M-Sport, which will run Rally1 car for Martins Sesks, is one of the most experienced and successful teams in WRC. During WRC Rally Show fans not only can see cars in action, but meet rally mechanics, engineers too. Moreover, this will be an occasion to chat with the drivers as well – said Holowczyc, three time Rally Poland winner.
