Following their sixth consecutive World Rally Championship top-three finish in 2024, Kajetan Kajetanowicz and Maciej Szczepaniak will spend another year at the very top of rally competition. The ORLEN Rally Team crew takle a full campaign in the WRC2 Challenger category, starting with Safari Rally Kenya. With three win to their names in this classic event, they have already proven that they are not afraid of rough African routes.

Kajetanowicz and Szczepaniak cannot wait to this year’s competition, looking forward to some key novelties. The biggest one is their car. The most successful Polish rally driver chose a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2.

– In late March we will provide all rally fans with excitement they are waiting for. This season, with seven selected rounds, begins for us with Safari Rally Kenya. We competed three times in this event, claiming three victories. This means we are even more motivated. Soon, after many weeks of preparations, we will start the fight together with the whole ORLEN Rally Team. We simply cannot wait! – Kajetan Kajetanowicz says ahead of the season.
