CREW FACTS

T.S.

• Tomasz Staniszewski is a key figure in the Polish off-road world, founder of the Enduro Rally and the P-Series Rally. He organizes 35 rallies all year long! His first Dakar only came in 2024 with a Porsche 924. There was two of them starting and both finished.
• Poland was a communist country when Tomasz was young. At the age of 10, he saw a big poster with all the Yamaha motorbikes and, in the center of it, he saw the blue and yellow Yamaha Ténéré. It was a “game changer” for him!
• But, when he was 25, he bought his first Land Rover Discovery to go off road in the Ukrainian mountains. He bought another one and another one and finally opened the first Land Rover service in the North of Poland. A few years later, he founded the Enduro Porsche Rallies in his own country.
• In December 2016, he drove alone from Paris to Dakar on his motorbike. It took him 12 days. He had a small accident in the South of Morocco but local people helped him with some food and water. And he reached his finish line in Dakar... For this 2025 Dakar, the Porsche has a new engine (2.5 liters, new gear box and suspensions).
