Wira claims back-to-back wins at WSMP season finale

20 September 2026

Piotr Wira secured his second consecutive victory of the day in the Polish Motorsport Racing Championships (WSMP) at Poznań Circuit, leading from start to finish in the final and longest race of the season-closing round. Driving an Aston Martin Vantage GT3, Wira controlled the race throughout despite an early incident behind him.

Wira started from pole position following his earlier win and maintained the lead into the first corner. Behind him, Przemysław Bieńkowski in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 and Artur Paziewski in a Porsche 911 collided; Paziewski damaged his front wheel and retired to the trackside, while Bieńkowski limped to the pits. The safety car was deployed, and racing resumed on lap six with Maciej Bernacik in second place, allowing Wira to manage the pace to the chequered flag.

Bieńkowski returned to the track in 14th place and recovered steadily, climbing to third by the finish. Tomasz Dyszkiewicz, piloting a Ligier LMP3, made up ground from the back after missing the previous race but received a stop-and-go penalty for an illegal overtake following the safety car restart, ultimately finishing fourth among Polish competitors.

Class winners included Paweł Kiepura (Porsche Cayman GT4), Paweł Gwidon Wydrzyński (Honda Civic, 3.5-litre class), Przemysław Wrona (Honda Civic, two-litre class), Antoni Makuch (class 6, by 0.3 seconds), and Jakub Święch (by 0.018 seconds).
