The third weekend of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series at Tor Poznań in Poland (July 2–4, 2026) is behind us, and this time we’re leaving with perfect results: three pole positions, three overall victories, and several other podium finishes in the individual categories.
Another race in the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series is currently underway at the Tor Poznań circuit. We’re bringing you a continuously updated report on the race as it unfolds.
A successful race weekend in Poland at the Tor Poznań circuit is behind us. As part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, we competed in two sprint races and one endurance race. And even though this was the first time any of the drivers had been on the Poznań circuit—and it’s by no means an easy track—we’re leaving completely satisfied and full of joy.
Matyáš Faiereisl first secured three pole positions in qualifying. He then capitalized on those in the subsequent races—managing to defend his lead in both the sprints and the endurance race, and finishing with a total of three wins (Pro and ePro).
Pavel Bouška started the races from the back of the grid, yet he fought his way to the front and finished the sprints first in 4th place (Masters) and then immediately secured a podium finish with an excellent 2nd place (Masters); in the endurance race, he even won his category (eMasters).
Radek Kolařík also improved with every lap on the Poznań track; while he finished in 5th place (Masters) in the first race, he celebrated a podium finish in 3rd place (Masters) in the second sprint and ultimately improved to 2nd place (eMasters) in the endurance race.
Ahead of the upcoming two-month summer break, before we continue again in Rijeka, Croatia, at the Grobnik Circuit, we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results so far.

R. Šenkýř Reflects on the Race Weekend at Tor Poznań
For the Šenkýř Motorsport team, the weekend in Poznań was absolutely perfect.
Three pole positions and three overall victories for Maty Faiereisl.
Good results from Radek Kolařík and Pavel Bouška in the Masters category.
It’s clear that our Be A Race Driver program is working well, because we’re somehow able to bring out top-notch performances from our drivers. And we’re happy because Poznań isn’t an easy track. It was everyone’s first time here, but in the end, we’re leaving completely satisfied.
I think it was very challenging for the whole team to get to know the new track, spend all our time working on setups, understand the tires, work with the drivers, and push things forward—and in the end, we achieved success across all categories, and Maty (M. Faiereisl) moved into first place overall in the standings after this weekend.
Before the two-month summer break, we’ll continue on at Grobnik in Croatia, so the situation couldn’t be better and we couldn’t be more satisfied.
A wonderful weekend, a beautiful, technically challenging track. Everything went perfectly—we even managed to score a few points. We gave it our all; it was awesome, with some great battles—it was totally worth it. It was fantastic.
The car performed great, the team performed great—it was awesome.
Well, the team said I’d end up falling in love with it here, so it looks like that’s exactly what’s happening.
The best race turned out to be the Endurance. I was battling with someone the whole time. It was a really tough race—I’ve had just enough of it—but it was a wonderful weekend overall.
When we started, we were really slow, but we gradually picked up speed, and in the end, I think we were pretty fast at times today, so I’m happy with how it turned out.

P. Bouška and His Thoughts on Training for Tor Poznań
This is my first time in Poznań. I’d heard all sorts of scary stories about what to expect, but I have to say, the track is a lot of fun.
There are a lot of direction changes, it’s really bumpy—you don’t get a moment to catch your breath. There isn’t a single straight stretch where you can check your gauges; you have to stay alert the whole time because the car is constantly moving in all directions. I’m really enjoying it.
This is my second day here; we’re still picking up speed, but I have to say it’s a pretty tough track to learn and get faster on. So maybe I’d like another day of practice, but we’ll just do what we can tomorrow and see how it goes.
M. Faiereisl Evaluates the Training and track at Tor Poznań
Well, Poznań is a beautiful track—actually, one of the nicest I’ve ever driven on. I didn’t expect it, but it’s true. So I really enjoyed the two days of testing.
I think we’ve put in a lot of laps and done a lot of testing, and we still have room to improve by a few tenths, but I think our pace is good.
To compete in tomorrow's race, every driver must attend a drivers' meeting, where the organizers will go over all the relevant rules that everyone must follow.
03.07.2026 16:51 (friday)

Trackwalk Tor Poznań
On Wednesday evening, ahead of Thursday’s practice sessions for Race 3 of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, we walked the Tor Poznań race track.
Today on foot, but starting tomorrow, we’ll be behind the wheels of our Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars. Now it’s time to switch into race mode!
Pavel started joining us at trackday events with his Porsche and soon decided to become part of our BE A RACE DRIVER project.
Thanks to hard work, perseverance and a passion for motorsport, he has gradually developed into a fast and confident driver who now successfully takes part with us in several racing series. As part of our Classic program, Pavel also competed in the very demanding 24h Classic race at the Nürburgring in the BMW M3 E30 during the 2025 season.
With his current Lamborghini Huracan Supertrofe Evo II, he participates in all our race tests and the Endless Summer program, Carbonia Cup races, and with a racing driver's license, he has already tried out two races of the International Czech Circuit Championship and the Porsche 992 Cup Central Europe races.
As a young driver, Matyas will compete in the overall classification and in the Rookies standings for drivers under 25. His journey toward a racing career began two years ago with his first sessions in a BMW M2 Trackday Evo. In the 2025 season, he moved to the new BMW M4 GT4 G82, with which he started his very first race ever in the Carbonia Cup. At the end of the 2025 season came his debut — and immediately his first pole position — in a Czech Championship race in Brno, followed by three wins in the final round of the series at Balaton in Hungary. Matyas already tried the Porsche during free practice for the final PSCCE 2025 race in Brno and impressed with his speed.
Radek started out at trackday events with a BMW M2 Trackday Evo. Over time, it started to feel „too small“ for him.
After agreeing with the team, Radek moved straight into the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, and with several starts in the ESET Cup and especially many sessions in the Endless Summer winter training events, he gained the confidence needed to enter the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup series.
Radek continues to take part in Šenkýř Motorsport trackday events; the Race category is the ideal platform for his driving development.
According to statistics, the most successful Slovak rider in terms of the number of victories in major international races gained pole position and the highest percentage chance of winning the race. In his career, he won the prestigious Formula F3 Eurocup series and also tried out the special Formula GP2, GP3 and Indy-lights. Since 2017, he has been a pilot in GT3 category races for Šenkýř Motorsport team.
Two-time European hillclimb champion in the overall classification of touring cars division, multiple champion of the Czech and Slovak Republic in hillclimb and circuit races, long-term official member of the Czech national team and driver with a successful thirty-year racing career. Founder and owner of the Šenkýř Motorsport team, who created the methodology and concept of 1:1 coaching for trackday cars and their drivers.
We will field three cars out of a total of 29 entrants in the race at Tor Poznań as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, and according to the starting list, we have the largest contingent on the starting grid.

A successful race weekend at the Tor Poznań circuit is behind us. As part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, we competed in two sprint races and one endurance race.
For the Šenkýř Motorsport team, the weekend in Poznań was absolutely perfect.
Three pole positions and three overall victories for Maty Faiereisl.
Good results from Radek Kolařík and Pavel Bouška in the Masters category.
It’s clear that our Be A Race Driver program is working well, because we’re somehow able to bring out top-notch performances from our drivers. And we’re happy because Poznań isn’t an easy track. It was everyone’s first time here, but in the end, we’re leaving completely satisfied.
We’ve had a successful weekend in Poland.
I think it was very challenging for the whole team to get to know the new track, spend all our time working on setups, understand the tires, work with the drivers, and push things forward—and in the end, we achieved success across all categories, and Maty (M. Faiereisl) moved into first place overall in the standings after this weekend.
Before the two-month summer break, we’ll continue on at Grobnik in Croatia, so the situation couldn’t be better and we couldn’t be more satisfied.
So our weekend in Poznań was a huge success.
We qualified in first place twice—once we actually finished second, but our opponent was disqualified, so I had pole position both times.
Then I managed to hold onto it in two of the sprint races and in the endurance race as well, so that was great.
At first, it was a bit of a struggle to defend the position, but then I was on my own again and built up a big lead, so it was a great weekend.
A wonderful weekend, a beautiful, technically challenging track. Everything went perfectly—we even managed to score a few points. We gave it our all; it was awesome, with some great battles—it was totally worth it. It was fantastic.
The car performed great, the team performed great—it was awesome.
Well, the team said I’d end up falling in love with it here, so it looks like that’s exactly what’s happening.
The best race turned out to be the Endurance. I was battling with someone the whole time. It was a really tough race—I’ve had just enough of it—but it was a wonderful weekend overall.
When we started, we were really slow, but we gradually picked up speed, and in the end, I think we were pretty fast at times today, so I’m happy with how it turned out.

The following drivers will compete for the Šenkýř Motorsport team in the two sprint races (Race 1, Race 2) at the Tor Poznań circuit in Poland as part of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe:
Today we’ll have two qualifying sessions followed by three races as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe at the Tor Poznań circuit in Poland.
A total of 19 cars and 28 drivers will compete in all the races.
The schedule is as follows:
After two days of training, we're ready as a team for tomorrow's races Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe: Race 3 - Tor Poznań.
This is my first time in Poznań. I’d heard all sorts of scary stories about what to expect, but I have to say, the track is a lot of fun.
There are a lot of direction changes, it’s really bumpy—you don’t get a moment to catch your breath. There isn’t a single straight stretch where you can check your gauges; you have to stay alert the whole time because the car is constantly moving in all directions. I’m really enjoying it.
This is my second day here; we’re still picking up speed, but I have to say it’s a pretty tough track to learn and get faster on. So maybe I’d like another day of practice, but we’ll just do what we can tomorrow and see how it goes.
Well, Poznań is a beautiful track—actually, one of the nicest I’ve ever driven on. I didn’t expect it, but it’s true. So I really enjoyed the two days of testing.
I think we’ve put in a lot of laps and done a lot of testing, and we still have room to improve by a few tenths, but I think our pace is good.
So here we are for the first time in Poland, in Poznań, at the racetrack, for the third round of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe.
It’s a unique track—very technical, short, and a bit bumpy.
We’re improving; the car is running well, and everything is working.
To compete in tomorrow's race, every driver must attend a drivers' meeting, where the organizers will go over all the relevant rules that everyone must follow.
The final Friday practice session—the eighth overall at the PSCCE: Tor Poznań—is now behind us.
After about 15 minutes, a red flag was displayed due to a car off the track at Turn 13, and cleanup took about 12 minutes, so in the end, instead of 45 minutes of practice, there were only about 30 minutes.
Today we still have driver training ahead of us, and tomorrow it’s already time for qualifying and the races.
The final, fourth Friday practice session is about to begin, but overall, this is the eighth practice session (PSCCE TEST 8) in preparation for the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe races at the Tor Poznań circuit in Poland.
This practice session was 20 minutes shorter due to a red flag called to pull rival cars out of the gravel trap at Turn 13. A total of 20 cars took to the track.
The temperature remained a pleasant 21°C.

This time, we will be obtaining fuel for refueling from a fuel tanker located in the Tor Poznań circuit’s support area.
In the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe series, as in other professional racing championships, the fuel regulations are clearly defined. The use of any additives is prohibited, and all teams use identical fuel prescribed by the organizer. This ensures a level playing field for all participants, and the decisive factors are the drivers’ performance, the car’s technical preparation, and the work of the entire team.
At Tor Poznań, we have PIT BOXES #10–12, where we keep our three Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars and our service facilities, including our data center.
Thursday will be all about intensive preparation. We have four 45-minute test runs ahead of us, during which we’ll fine-tune the car’s setup, collect data, and hunt for those precious tenths of a second on every meter of the track.
In the afternoon, we’ll also take another walk through the Tor Poznań track. Every detail counts, and every turn can be decisive. Preparation is the foundation of a successful race weekend.
On Wednesday evening, ahead of Thursday’s practice sessions for Race 3 of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, we walked the Tor Poznań race track.
Today on foot, but starting tomorrow, we’ll be behind the wheels of our Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars. Now it’s time to switch into race mode!
The Tor Poznań race track in Poland opened in 1978 and is 4083 m long with 14 turns.
As part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe, we will race there in two 25-minute races and one 60-minute endurance race.
