Szutrowy Puchar Toru Słomczyn Round 4: Grzegorz Baran Wins Season Finale as Mikołaj Baran Takes Title

The 2026 Szutrowy Puchar Toru Słomczyn concluded with a family battle at the top of the timesheets during its fourth and final round, which also served as the Krzysztof Gawroński Memorial. After the opening three rounds took place early in the year, the gravel cup returned to Autodrom Słomczyn following an extended summer break. While Mikołaj Baran had already put himself in position to secure the series championship, he missed out on a clean sweep of round victories on the final run of the day, with his brother Grzegorz Baran taking the overall win.

The Baran brothers shared driving duties in a single Subaru Impreza, locking out the top two spots in the overall classification and Open 1. Emil Uszyński finished third overall, also behind the wheel of a Subaru Impreza, after a power steering failure hampered his pace through the tighter chicanes. Fourth place overall went to Łukasz Gajos in a Crosskart, followed by guest rally drivers Adrian Chmielowiec and Colin Brzeziński, who used the event as a test session in a Peugeot 208 Rally4.

Class honors saw clear margins across several categories. In Open 6, Waldemar Niezabitowski dominated in a Nissan Micra, while Arkadiusz Kołodziejczak edged out Marek Bieniarz in a Fiat Seicento by less than a second for runner-up. Wojciech Urbaniak took the Open 5 win aboard a Škoda Felicia with nearly a minute in hand over Maciej Ptasiński in a Suzuki Swift. In Open 4, Daniel Sadurski took victory in a Honda Civic after passing Mateusz Gurtkowski's Ford Focus on the final run.

Open 3 produced a close battle where Jarosław Frydrych steered his BMW E36 to victory ahead of Przemysław Rozmysłowicz in an atmospheric Subaru Impreza, with Marcin Szewczyk rounding out the podium in a Peugeot 206. Open 2 was claimed decisively by Szymon Sieńko in a BMW E36, while Adam Nowak completed the Open 1 podium behind the Baran brothers in another Subaru Impreza.
