From a young age cars have always been one of my interests and as with all boys the faster, more exotic and fancy the more special it was to see one. Now having grown older, this interest hasn't faded, seeing a nice car parked or drive by still gives those shivers. Having had the oportunity to attend a few automotive events this year has therefore resulted into several pictures to show.
Motorsport and even more so rallying are big in Poland. With several races already on the calendar since the 1950s they are among the long lasting modern traditions. Few events that particularly strike me are four races held in the south of Poland. Rajd Sląska, which is part of the European champion ship, Rajd Malopolski, with narrow mountain roads and steep ups and downs, Rajd Wisły, over the hills around the famous ski jumping complex and Rajd Cieszynski, held in November when roads become cold and most stages are run during dusk or dawn.
Not only cars but also motorbikes are competing in motorsport events. The motorcross event gives it's challenges to bot driver and bike. Dirt, dust, slippery corners and high jumps mean they need to be in the best shape to make it through several runs a day.
Car meets show what people believe their ultimate car looks like, and the time and effort they spent on getting it there. From sleeper cars, to exotics, to your usual suspects. Every meet you meet them all.
