At the CELFAST WILKÓW Krosno track, the Youth Individual Championship of Poland was held, which ended with a historic success for Jakub Krawczyk. The protégé of the club from Ostrów Wielkopolski won the club’s first-ever title. He was joined on the podium by Bartosz Bańbor and Oskar Paluch, taking second and third place respectively.

In the second race, we witnessed a crash. From the fourth position, Bańbor had to make his way up, quickly overtaking Bańdur, and then on the entrance to the first bend of the second lap, he also passed Mencel. However, at the first corner of the fourth lap, a dangerous accident occurred involving Szymon Bańdur, who charged under the band.

In the next start, Jakub Krawczyk started well, although he couldn’t gain an advantage over his rivals entering the first corner. Nevertheless, he gained enough speed to swiftly overtake Przyjemski, who tried to block him but failed. The ORLEN OIL MOTOR rider didn’t give up and chased Krawczyk to the very end.

In the 6th race, Bartosz Bańbor had a great start from the fourth position, taking the lead. Sebastian Szostak quickly overtook Wiktor Przyjemski, but after a mistake, he lost his advantage. On the fourth lap, Przyjemski was able to get under Szostak’s arm and move up to second position, to which the young rider from Ostrow tried to respond, but he lacked speed. In the 7th race, Oskar Hurysz had the best start, but a wide exit at the first corner caused problems, which Bańdur capitalized on to take the lead. On the second bend of the third lap, Bańbor got under his elbow, and the junior barely avoided a fall.

The 10th race was full of emotions when Sebastian Szostak tried to break the dominance of the undefeated duo Jakub Krawczyk and Oskar Paluch so far. The BETARD SPARTA representative, not willing to yield to his former clubmate, quickly overtook Szostak on the straight after the start, showing that he wouldn’t give up easily. In the 16th race, it was tight at the first turn where Paluch tried to overtake Bańbor. Though he couldn’t do it immediately, he quickly gained speed and took the lead. Meanwhile, behind Paluch, Piotr Świercz kept attacking the MIMP runner-up from the previous year.

In the 19th race, Krawczyk delayed the start but quickly overtook Sadurski. Although he initially had a deficit, he didn’t give up and pursued Bańbor, thereby securing his first Youth Champion of Poland title in his career.
