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."

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.
Porsche #9: Finished P1 in ePro, P1 overall; fastest lap: 2:05.685
Porsche #7: Finished P3 in eProAM, P7 overall, fastest lap: 2:07.135
Porsche #3: Finished 4th in eProAM, 13th overall, fastest lap: 2:07.110
Porsche #5: Finished 2nd in eMasters, 14th overall, fastest lap: 2:10.539
The second race featuring 18 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup cars at the Slovakiaring as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe has also come to a successful conclusion, and our drivers finished as follows:
M. Faiereisl set the second race’s fastest lap with a time of 2:05.320. The race consisted of 12 laps.
The temperature reached 35.1 °C during the race. One car did not finish the race.
So, we’ve got the first race behind us. I messed up the start a little. I didn’t catch that moment, but then I found a good spot and gained about three positions, which was great, so I was grateful for that.
Then, in turns one and two, I avoided the others, found my position, and settled into a very good pace. That consistency paid off, and basically, the fact that I stuck to my own line while others made some mistakes moved me up a few more positions. But then the tables turned, and I started making mistakes myself.
Toward the end, due to a combination of fatigue—because it’s very, very hot and it really took its toll on me—and also because a very fast rider started catching up to me, I began making mistakes that took me off the ideal line.
But it turned out well—I started sixth and finished fourth, so gaining three positions at the start is good, so we’re moving forward.
The first race at the Slovakia Ring as part of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe is successfully behind us, and our drivers finished as follows:
P. Bouška and M. Faiereisl also posted the fastest laps in their respective groups, and M. Faiereisl also posted the fastest lap overall.
The race consisted of 12 laps, and M. Faiereisl completed the race with a total time of 25:12.699
Eighteen Porsche 992 GT3 Cup race cars started the first race at 11:20 a.m., four of which were from our team.
At the start, the temperature at the Slovakiaring was already 32.3°C. In the first few laps, there was contact between competitors, and one competitor did not finish the race.
I only trained for half a day today. The Slovakia Ring is one of the tougher circuits, at least for me. Today we just worked on the racing line, individual turns, and G-forces; we weren’t chasing lap times yet. We’ll devote tomorrow’s practice to getting the overall flow down. And hopefully that will show on Saturday during qualifying and the race.

Today is going perfectly, we have perfect weather and I had a minor accident yesterday, so it was repaired at night and today we are running it in and basically we are already going through the protocol depending on how it will look tomorrow during qualifying and during the race, so the new tires are already going and we are trying to apply what we learned yesterday today.
