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.

P. Bouška k závodnímu dni na PSCCE Tor Poznań
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.
Award Ceremony for the 100-Mile Endurance Race in Poland
P. Bouška receives the trophy for first place and R. Kolařík for second place in the 100-mile Poland endurance race as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe: Round 3 at Tor Poznań.

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.
P. Bouška is heading into his third practice session with the goal of further fine-tuning his ideal racing line, refining his braking points, and gradually increasing his speed in each sector of the circuit. Every lap brings valuable experience.
Data Analysis and Trip to the Second Practice Session
After their first practice run, R. Šenkýř and P. Bouška analyze the telemetry data together, compare the individual sections of the circuit, and look for ways to gain even more speed.
Now they’re heading into the second practice session with the clear goal of taking their performance one step further.

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!
Fourteen Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars took to the track for the 100 Miles of Slovakia race at the Slovakiaring as part of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe 2026 – Round 2, with temperatures at the Slovakiaring reaching 34.0 °C.
A total of 28 laps were completed at the Slovakiaring, and we fielded four cars out of the 14 total participants.

Pavel Bouška and his feelings after the first training session at Slovakiaring
So here we are at the Slovakia Ring, and it’s nice and warm here. The track is really hot—it was pretty tricky—and we’ve just finished our first practice session. It was harder than I’d imagined, but we’re gradually getting the hang of it. Now we’ll put on new tires, and it’ll get better and better. Still, we’ll be battling the heat—it looks like it’s going to be hot for all three days, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.
Pavel Bouška about his first hill races Ecce Homo 2026
So, my first hillclimb is done. Huge thanks to everyone who talked me into doing this. I have mixed feelings right now, because on one hand, it’s awesome that I brought the car up to the top in one piece. On the other hand, I’m kicking myself for driving so slowly—right now, I’d love nothing more than to jump back in, run it again, and push a bit harder. But thank you so much for this opportunity, I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Pavel Boušek's feelings after two training rides on Saturday
So we all made it to the finish line. That’s probably the most important thing for me. Thank you so much—it was an incredible experience. My heart rate was higher than it had been on the track. It was a truly powerful experience. I’m very grateful for it, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

All set near the start line of the Ecce Homo hillclimb! Our Porsche 992 GT3 Cups are ready with drivers #66 Robert Šenkýř (CZ), #67 Pavel Bouška (CZ), and #68 Tomáš Erdélyi (SK).
Today is finally race day. We had the first qualifying session this morning, and it was a bit of a compromise because one of yesterday’s practice sessions was cancelled, so we had to bed in a new set of brakes during qualifying. That meant we could only really push properly in the second half of the session. In the end, it didn’t turn out too badly. I started from second place in my class. I lost one position early on, but then managed to make it back up, so I finished first in my category in the opening race. I’m really happy about that—the race went well. Now we’ll see how the rest of the day unfolds. For the second qualifying session, I’m starting one position further back than I did for the first race, so we’ll see how it goes. Either way, I’m looking forward to it.
Okay, so the first official practice is today. We were running better yesterday; this morning we had some trouble with the brakes, so we had to bed in some new ones, and hopefully, it will run well now. This track is very demanding on the brakes, so we will need to prepare an extra set because they wear out incredibly fast here. As for the driving... I am still getting used to it here, but I hope we will put in a good run tomorrow.
To driving in Senkyr Motorsport Team:
Tremendous professionalism and commitment, it all works like clockwork, but above all, it has heart and soul. Every track day or race was a great experience for me, but especially the great feeling that I and my car are 120% taken care of.
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.
Tomáš is a driver who has worked his way up from hobby hillclimb races to the top of the licensed races of the Czech and Slovak Republic circuit and hillclimb championship. He also won the FIA CEZ Championship several times. From his first successes with the BMW M3 E36, he has worked his way up to the GT3 category with regular training and diligence, and rightly belongs to the Šenkýř Motorsport coach group.
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.
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.
Slávek has been taking part in selected Šenkýř Motorsport trackday events for several seasons now. Gradually, his desire to try a race car grew, and thanks to his ownership of a modified Audi R8 V10, we chose a car with the same engine — the Lamborghini Huracan ST EVO II.
The logical next step was racing school and his first race weekend with the BMW M4 GT4 G82 Evo from the Šenkýř Motorsport team at the Autumn Brno Cup 2025. That successful weekend in Brno was topped off by his first GT4 category win, and two weeks later by a quality test during free practice at PSCCE in Brno. After a test weekend in February 2026 as part of Endless Summer in Barcelona, we decided to try at least the first PSCE 2026 race at the Red Bull Ring.
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.
Filip is one of the best currently driving pilots in the Central Europe region, with many titles and successes throughout Europe. From his debut in the Alfa Romeo WTCC, through his beginnings with BMW in the various evolutions of the BMW M3 of the Senkyr Motorsport team and his subsequent career in DTM cars, he has returned to the GT category. It doesn't matter where Filip started, he was always one of the fastest drivers on the track, who can analyze his ride and successfully moved himself and the car to the edge.
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.
To driving in the Šenkýř Motorsport team: The more a driverr wants to improve and the more he desires success at races, the more he begins to understand the need for adequate equipment, maintanance and skilled people around him. Robert Šenkýř and his team support me tremendously in this respect and at the same time awaken in me the desire to give back to them at the races. After all, I wear the Šenkýř Motorsport logo on my overalls!!!
Samuel is taking his passion to a more professional racing level under the guidance of Richard Gonda and with the excellent support of the Šenkýř Motorsport team.
His training process with BMW M2 and BMW M4 GT4 cars began in 2021. He made his racing debut in 2022, when he started with our team’s support in a BMW M4 GT4 F82 in several ESET Cup races and was part of the rookie team for the 24 Hours of Barcelona. After a few working years, he returned to racing this year — straight into the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup category.
"Robert and his team enabled me to enter the world of motorsport in the most professional way, guiding but also igniting another passion and today I can't imagine my life without driving a race car."

Okay, so the first official practice is today. We were running better yesterday; this morning we had some trouble with the brakes, so we had to bed in some new ones, and hopefully, it will run well now. This track is very demanding on the brakes, so we will need to prepare an extra set because they wear out incredibly fast here. As for the driving... I am still getting used to it here, but I hope we will put in a good run tomorrow.
