"We understand each other without talking"
En resumen
L.Z.
- Lukasz is a passionate rallycross driver who loves motorsport since he was a kid. He first took the wheel at the tender age of three, guided by his grandfather. By the age of five, he was already racing motorbikes with his twin brother, Michal. At 18, Lukasz transitioned to car racing, participating in numerous amateur events. His racing pedigree is strong, with his grandfather, Jozef, and father, Marcin - both seasoned rally competitors - paving the way.
- In 2024, Lukasz made his mark at the Dakar Rally for the first time, driving a Porsche 924 in the Dakar Classic category alongside Michal. Lukasz and his brother Michal successfully returned to the Dakar Rally In 2025, taking on the challenge of the world's toughest competition in a Can-Am vehicle.
- Building on their previous experiences, the brothers embraced the grueling terrain and intense race, showcasing their skills and determination.
- Outside of racing, Lukasz runs a service and mechanic workshop with his wife, where they channel their expertise and passion for cars.

- Michal has been a motorcyclist for as long as he can remember. He started riding at the age of 9, and officially at 17, took part as an amateur in almost every possible race.
- He has three children – twins Gustaw and Adela (14), and Feliks (13), who is only 14 months younger. The boys love riding motorcycles with their dad. Adela also rides a motorcycle, but her biggest passions are horse riding and tennis. Gustaw has been successfully playing football for years, while Feliks plays tennis. All of this is possible mainly thanks to the masterful logistics managed by their mom, Jola.
- In 2025, alongside Piotr Beaupre, Michal also competed in the East African Safari Classic Rally, once again giving his all as a co-driver in this incredibly demanding off-road event. His participation underscores his commitment to navigating challenging terrains and his passion for rallying at the highest levels.
- The Dakar 2026 will be Michal’s third participation in this legendary event. He made his debut in 2024 in the Classic category, driving a Porsche 924, and in 2025 he competed in the Challenger class as the co-pilot of his brother Lukasz. He will once again compete in this category – this time as Lukasz’s pilot, in a two-car team together with Piotr Beaupré and his co-pilot Jarosław Kazberuk.
- His rally idols are legendary Polish motorcyclists Marek Dabrowski and Jacek Czachor – true icons of the Polish Dakar story.

L.Z. :
"With Michał, sometimes we get on each other's nerves, but I wouldn't want to race with any other co-driver. We have a unique understanding; often, he starts a sentence, and I already know how it ends. When we set our minds on something, we see it through. We aim to learn as much as possible and reach the finish line. Dakar is the toughest rally in the world, attracting so many because of its challenge. It's like climbing the highest mountains, you never know if you'll make it back. You need to be ready for the biggest adventure on earth. I plan to be part of Dakar for the next 30 years. In 2026, we'll also compete in the Challenger category with a Can-Am for our second run in the 'big Dakar'"

"Dakar 2026 will be our third start together. We made our debut in the Classic class, driving a Porsche 924, and in 2025 we faced the desert for the first time in the Challenger category, behind the wheels of a Can-Am. For the 2026 edition, we continue to compete in the same class. We've been a team since childhood, and the two Dakars we've already completed together only confirm how strong our bond is. We believe that the experience gained over the past two years will help us achieve what matters most – reaching the finish line. And if we manage to improve our position – even better ! Just like last year, we are part of a two-car team – the second car is driven by Piotr Beaupré, with Jarosław Kazberuk, an experienced co-pilot, alongside him. It’s very important for us that our entire team reaches the finish line together – that’s our biggest ambition for Dakar 2026 !"
