Szymon is a big talent and it rightfully belongs to him, not only because of his win in junior standings, but also because of his exemplary behavior outside race track. He is very young and sporty, he has future ahead of himself. I will be very happy if he continues in our championship.

Jablonski was visible especially in Endurance races last year. He achieved championship title there with Hyundai i30 N TCR car of BM Racing Team and with his teammate Bartlomiej Mirecki. But Jablonski was successful in prestigious TCR Eastern Europe category too. He finished on overall fifth place there. He shone especially at Masaryk Circuit in Brno, where he finished third in both races. The fact it was very first season with TCR car for Jablonski adds value to his results from last year.
