Sixteen years ago, 42 supercars went to Poland for the first edition of Gran Turismo Polonia. Three years later this would become the most important supercar event east of Berlin. But of course, no one of us knew this back then.
Just as in 2021, Gran Turismo Polonia is now both a road trip through Poland and a track event. We start with four days on great Polish roads, visiting important cities and beautiful places. The final two days we spend on the fantastic race track in Poznan, which all of us love.
We will be over 100 supercars going on the road trip through Poland. With so many cars, the scale of the road trip is massive. There will be police escorts, and sometimes a bit of fun confusion.
New for the 2022 edition is that we are doing special stages. In some places we will close a street or a road just for us, creating a spectacular experience for the general public.
Gran Turismo Polonia 2022 starts in Sopot. We then drive to the lake district in the northeast part of Poland, where we stay in Mikolajki. Mikolajki is an important summer destination in Poland, situated in the centre of Masuria.
After the thousand lakes in Masuria, we continue to Warsaw, Lodz, and then to Poznan. Lodz? Yes, it is the second-largest city in Poland no one has heard about. We are preparing a special surprise for you there.
The event is eight days in total, with seven nights in hotels. Two days of track driving on Tor Poznan. It is a complete program with dinners in selected restaurants every night, VIP access to nightclubs in Sopot, Warsaw, Lodz and Poznan. Safe parking for your supercar. As always, everything is included.
As every year, we will drive on the fantastic Tor Poznan race track. All cars, regardless of noise, can drive on the track, provided that the driver follows the marshals' instructions. We will have lap timing active if you want to join the King of Polonia time attack challenge.
No worries, there is an option to just join for the part in Poznan and Tor Poznan. See the registration form below.
On the 6th of July you arrive in Sopot - the summer capital of Poland. Your car is hand washed by our team and then parked in a safe garage right next to the hotel.
