In the eight round of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies – LOTTO Baja Poland – LOTTO School of Champions will be represented by: Krzysztof Hołowczyc with his co-driver Łukasz Kurzeja and Martin Kaczmarski with his co-driver Tapio Suominen as well as Jarosław Kazberuk with his co-driver Robin Szustkowski. Additionally the team has prepared a special zone located in the rally village in Szczecin.

After last year's success (Hołowczyc's win, Kaczmarski's third place and a win for Kazberuk/Szustkowski in the truck category) the team is keen to continue its streak of success. Especially that the rally is one of a very few occasions to compete in front of their home crowd.

This year both Hołowczyc and Kaczmarski take part in World RX series, competing in the RX Lites category, whereas Kazberuk and Szustkowski field a T2-class Ford Raptor in cross-country rallies.

Aside from the rally itself there will be a special LOTTO School of Champions zone, where it will be possible to see the stars and cars of the show. Rallycross-spec Ford Fiestas will be on display, followed by simulators, competitions and even an outdoor cinema. The zone will be located in the rally village in Szczecin and will be open to public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The LOTTO School of Champions programme is comprised of three champion/learner duos: rally drivers Krzysztof Hołowczyc/Martin Kaczmarski and Jarek Kazberuk/Robin Szustkowski as well as powerboat racing father and son duo Waldemar and Bartek Marszałek.

The idea behind the programme is to share the champions' wealth of experience with the learner and create him the best possible background for skills development. After two years of running the programme the biggest of its accomplishments are: Hołowczyc's third place in the 2015 Dakar Rally, Kaczmarski's spectacular debut in the 2014 Dakar Rally and Kazberu/Szustkowski Dakar finish in 2015.
