“Great to live this dream together”

You will find in the Cocoloco crew the most Spanish of all the Polish competitors! It’s been twenty years since Katarzyna and Dominik took up residence in Mallorca, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. This is where they established their professional lives, and traveled the roads participating in some rallies. To find dunes, they went several times to Morocco, where they ran the tracks of the old Dakar. An ideal training for the couple, who already have a solid sporting background: ‘Kati’ was an acrobat in the past, while Dominik played in the Polish waterpolo national team. Snowboard enthusiasts, they generally spend their winters traveling back and forth in the Alps and the Pyrenees. This year, they will attempt to climb another type of mountains: sand moutains of the Dakar Classic, with a 1998 Suzuki Vitara.


D.B.: “My goal has always been to do the Dakar in my life. I have already participated in a few rallies, but mostly on the road. We trained in Morocco to prepare for our big dream. Our Suzuki is a unique car in Spain, and perhaps even in Europe. It was made by Suzuki España Motorsports. It belonged to a former Spanish rally runner-up, who later changed to a more powerful vehicle. For us, it’s very good. My co-driver, Katarzyna, is excellent in orientation and navigation. She’s also my partner, and it’s great to be able to live this dream together!”

K.M.: “We are travelers, adventurers. The Dakar was Dominik's big dream, he made a test with me as a co-driver in Morocco and he liked my skills, so he took me on board! I don’t know why but I have a good feeling with everything related to orientation, direction. When I was young, I was passionate about maps and geography, that must have helped! We are both competitors, we would like to finish in a good position but it is a long rally, with a lot of difficulties and other crews. Being on the podium makes us dream. I can’t wait, but I also go there with a lot of respect for the race and the desert. We'll see!”
