Bieńkowski and Lisowski clinch Polish Endurance title at Poznań

19 September 2026

Przemysław Bieńkowski and Mateusz Lisowski secured the individual championship in Poland's 2026 Endurance Championship with victory in the season finale at Tor Poznań. The pair's win marked their third triumph of the season and ended a two-race winning streak by their title rivals.

Bieńkowski started from pole position and initially held the lead against championship contender Filip Sterczewski, but the Ligier LMP3 driver moved ahead on the second lap and began to build an advantage of a full lap before handing over to Maciej Marcinkiewicz at the first pit stop. Both Sterczewski and Bieńkowski pitted during a safety car period triggered by a collision involving Konrad Miler, whose prototype ended up in the gravel.

A faster driver change by the PTT team allowed Lisowski to rejoin on the lead lap, and he capitalised on another safety car deployment early in the second hour following an accident involving Jacek Zielonka in an LMP3. When racing resumed, Lisowski trailed Marcinkiewicz by just 18 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 driver steadily closed the gap through consistent lap times and overtook Marcinkiewicz with 19 minutes remaining, holding the lead to the chequered flag.

Fabian Dybionka and Igor Klaja finished third overall and claimed the 992 Cup class title. Further class victories went to Jerzy Kufel and Rafał Rulski (up to 3.5 litres), Przemysław Silski and Zbigniew Kaźmierczak (up to 2 litres), Szymon Nowak and Michał Całek (325i Cup), Tomasz Urbański and Damian Lempart (BULL RUSH Super S Cup), Jan Kurowski and Tomasz Strozik (RN2), and Maksym and Michał Guranowscy (R-Sport Cup). Marek Zmysłowski and Michał Ratajczyk won the GT4 class in an Audi R8 LMS.
