Valvoline Rajd Małopolski: Byśkiniewicz and Siatkowski cling to a 0.3‑second lead

Polish drivers Łukasz Byśkiniewicz and Daniel Siatkowski (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2) led the Valvoline Rajd Małopolski after the second stage, holding a 0.3‑second advantage over Jarosław and Marcin Szeja. Adrian Rzeźnik and Kamil Kozdroń were third, 15.6 seconds behind. The rally, the third round of the KIQ Polish Rally Championship and the first to count toward the FIA European Rally Trophy, took place on asphalt special stages near Wadowice, Myślenice and Maków Podhalański.

The Friday stages proved demanding, especially the historic Lanckorona climb with its narrow, slippery sections. Byśkiniewicz and Siatkowski set the fastest time on Lanckorona (9:35.6), while the Szeja crew reclaimed the lead on the Barwałd stage, highlighting the tight competition. Heading into the Saturday finale, the lead margin remained within tenths of a second, promising a closely contested finish.
