"Our goal is to finish the rally and learn as much as possible"
En resumen
M.O.
- As strange as it can be, this Dakar is going to be Maciej first one. His huge experience while rallying in road rallies is a big advantage. Maciej has always dreamed about participating in the Dakar, which was somehow a myth and mystery, something on top of all rallyes. It's a huge adventure and challenge.
- During many years, Maciej thought the Dakar was not achievable for him. He got to know people who showed him the desert and he started to believe that this it's, at the end, an achievable goal. Special thanks to the legend Rafał Sonik, who was the first to show him the desert from a car perspective and shared a lot of his knowledge. He also noted that a lot of people he knew in the past are now engaged in off road. He started to meet these drivers, codrivers and team members and gathered plenty of information.
- Maciej and Marcin are a tremendous duo, rallying in the same car since 2016. They know each other since high school and competed in Polish rallies at the same period. Maciej drove a VW Polo while Marcin was behind the wheels of a Peugeot 106. This year, preparations went under way in order to do their best for the 2026 Dakar edition.
- "Never stop learning", says Maciej Oleksowicz as Dakar 2026 is the beginning of a journey with Off Road Rallies. He gained experience in the Polish Rally Championship and his most intensive season was 2010-2011 in the European Rally Championship (5th and 4th place) and 2012 in World Rally Championship (5thplace SWRC) on a Ford Fiesta S2000.

"This year, the Dakar is for me a huge learning experience and challenge. Our goal is to finish the rally and learn as much as possible. It is as simple as that as we are newcomers on the Dakar so we can not expect something better than reaching the finish line at the end."
