RFC THRILLS & SPILLS AT ELBLAG IN SPRING.
(Tough Stages, Stiff competition, Mechanical Breakdowns & Camaraderie at RFC POLAND 2021).
It was a worthwhile wait for D-Day of the first RFC Poland on 21 April to take off on Polish soil; after all, among the Europeans, the Poles have been the longest (since 2021) and continuous supporters of the Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia, the number 3 of worlds top five toughest off-road races.
The vibrant touristic city of Elblag with culture and history dating back to 1237AD with a canal that is one of the seven wonders of Poland and the citys outdoor countryside played the ideal venue for a RFC off-road racing event.
It took months of persistent preparation including holding 2 winter training sessions plus hundreds of hours from the whole organizing team of Jakub Urbankiewic, working from the office as well as at the outdoor tracks; including putting kms of tapes marking the Special Stages (SS) for the race a la RFC format.
D-Day was 21 April opening ceremony graced by H.E the Ambassador of Malaysia in Poland (Chitra Devi Ramiah) with Polish VIPs: the Mayor of Elblag (Witold Wróblewski) & Gov Elblag County (Maciej Romanowski) with traditional Polish cultural welcome.
The organizers wasted no time at all to plunge the participants from R1 to R3 categories (Hard, Medium, Standard classes) into 4x4 action at the Prologue SS which followed immediately after the opening ceremony.
Fun filled day for everyone from the participants to support crew to their fans who turned out to cheer their favourite teams. However, for those competing in the SS, they were in full concentration all day and night. They fully well know that in the SS, its not only about engine power nor speed, but having the right strategy, driving and recovery skill are the keys to scoring maximum points and propel them to victory.
Many of the 50 teams are experienced off-roaders in rallye and 4x4 competition events and they came fully prepared for hard stages. They were not disappointed from 21-25 April, tested to their limits and beyond in 4x4 extreme off-road racing. Even for the 24 teams in the R2 category (Medium class), nothing came easy for them in the SS either; they had to endure the twists and turns in the SS using their driving and recovery skills to the full.
However, what is remarkable in these Battles of 4x4 Supremacy at RFC Poland is that even with tough stages, stiff competition among the teams with many mechanical breakdowns; their perseverance to finish the race and helping one another in the process earn them a distinction in camaraderie!
As RFC Poland 2021 came to an end at the closing ceremony, you can say everyones a winner in this debut of RFC racing here at Elblag, for taking on the odds, making friendship and strengthening their bonds in 4x4 off-road in the true spirit of the Rainforest Challenge.
Winners List: Overall: Atom 4x4 Off Road Team.
R1 (Hard): (1) Atom 4x4 Off Road Team (2) Juri Team (3) Motyl 4x4

To complete the ending with Malaysian flavour we had the most famous Polish couple in the Rainforest Challenge to attend the closing awards, in the likes of Dr Marek Janaszkiewicz and spouse Agnieszka. This iconic couple has been to Malaysia countless times since 2021 as Team Poland and well recognized worldwide in the RFC global fraternity.
A fitting finale to Slavic Spirit and Polish Passion in the Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia in Poland; now a RFC Global Series (RFCGS) event is established for North Europe.
