This weekend was the Rajd Małopolski, and I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t take a quick trip. So on Saturday, we headed to Maków Podhalański and once again saw the rally cars in action.

Last weekend, the Janusz Kulig and Marian Bublewicz Memorial took place. I decided to go. It was a really great event that transformed that small town, Wieliczka, into a rally-fueled, colourful little place. It was fantastic to see entire families watching the competition, with kids laughing out loud at the roar of the ALS.

It was even more enjoyable because there were so many historic cars, including models from my era of WRC, like the Ford Sierra, Escort, Focus MK1, and Toyota Celica ST-205 GT4 — really quite special!

Of the important ones, with a big smile on my face, I’m happy to report that the Impreza will soon have all its clips in perfect condition. I spent a fair bit of time under the car and noted all the missing, broken, and suspiciously hanging by a thread clips, and as always, my local Subaru specialists stepped up to the task. I’m also really happy about the sponges for the fuel tank roll over valve and fuel pump access flap, they were in pretty bad shape, and are notoriously hard to come by.
