Kajetan Kajetanowicz in tandem with Jarek Baran were the fastest team over nearly all special stages of the 38th Rally Košice. Getting to the finish line more than a minute ahead of the second best team, they won the Slovakian rally for the first time. The victory sealed their third consecutive title of Polish Champions in the general classification of the Polish Car Rally Championships.

Once again, the LOTOS Dynamic Rally Team proved they were second to none. In the Slovakian qualification, they again scored maximum points, securing the championship with two more rounds to go before the end of the season. No other team in Poland has accomplished a feat like that in sixteen years. Kajetanowicz and Baran have been in peak form since the season started - they have won all the rounds, proving to be the fastest team over the majority of special stages. The stats clearly confirm their fabulous form.

- I feel immense joy and pride. I am very happy because we arrived first at the finish line of a very challenging rally, and because it is here in Košice that we have won Polish Championships for the third time. I have an extraordinary team and wonderful fans. They can all share our joy at being Polish Champions. Thanks to the dedication of my wife Ola, I am capable of achieving more. Without her support, I would not be where I am now. I also wish to thank my co-driver Jarek, and express my appreciation for Rallytechnology, the firm which prepares our car, and for many others, whom I am not able to name just now. The title of Polish Champions 2012 also goes to the partners who have supported me all along - fuel producer LOTOS Dynamic, the titular team sponsor, as well as LOTOS Oil, STP and CUBE. It is hard to prepare for a rally, but the powerful emotions which are now at play inside me cannot be foreseen or learnt. Victories do not come easily, and I can only promise that I have no intention to rest on my laurels but work hard before future rallies, so as to become an even better driver - said Kajetan Kajetanowicz after the winning start in Košice.

- Like the entire LOTOS Dynamic Rally Team, I am happy. The season is not over yet, but our work has already delivered great results. The three titles in a row won in tandem with Kajetan are a truly extraordinary achievement, and I feel particularly moved because for me this is the sixth title in my career. I dedicated last year's success to my family and I would like to dedicate this one to my friends and colleagues, who have accompanied me for all those years of my rallying career. Thank you very much! - added Jarek Baran.

- We congratulate the team wearing the LOTOS colours on their recent successes, thanking them for all the emotions we have experienced watching their sporting exploits - said Paweł Lisowski, President of the Management Board of LOTOS Paliwa. - When we decided to join the LOTOS Dynamic Rally Team project three years ago, it was difficult to predict that our team would be such a spectacular success. This year’s performance by Kajetan and Jarek has set new standards in the history of car rallies. There are two more events ahead of our team – the Polish Rally and the Lower Silesian Rally, as part of the Polish Championship 2012 series. - We expect more wins from the Kajetanowicz/Baran team - who have already secured the title of champions of the Polish Car Rally Championship 2012 - added Magdalena Jurdziak, head of the Marketing Office at LOTOS Paliwa.

Also the LOTOS – Subaru Poland Rally Team took part in the rally. However, for Wojtek Chuchała and Kamil Heller the Friday loop was filled with adventures. After the Saturday stage, the L-SPRT team emerged as the winner of Group N in the daily classification. In addition, they were handed cups for coming third in the group and second in the Manufacturers Classification in the entire event. The LOTOS – Subaru Poland Rally Team claimed another victory in the production-based cars classification in the Saturday round of the Slovakian championship, which they ended just short of the podium in the general classification.

- We have behind us a very good stage, which was driven without any major hitches. We managed to maintain a strong position for the day, although the scores lost yesterday are a shame. Today the weather has sprung some surprises on us, and we also had a little adventure. While braking we ran into a clump of bushes, but since we care for the environment, we only lost a couple of seconds. We wish to thank the entire Team, as well as our Partners: Subaru Import Polska, LOTOS Oil with the LOTOS Quazar oil brand, LOTOS Paliwa with the LOTOS Dynamic fuel brand, Keratronik, Raiffeisen Leasing, Geberit, SJS and Sony VAIO, and of course all our fans - summed up Wojtek Chuchała.
