Motopark Toruń
When browsing through top travel destinations in Poland, surely you must have come across Toruń. This charming town with its UNESCO enlisted medieval Old Town is definitely worth visiting. However, what most travel guides miss out on is Motopark race track. The first race track in the early 1990’s used parts of a disused airfield, however, since then the track has been thoroughly modernised and is now an up-to-date driver training centre and home to numerous rally-cross and drift events. Driver training programmes, incentives and private rentals are also available.
Tor Poznań
Poznań race track might be one of the most recognizable one in Poland. It definitely is the longest and the fastest allowing it to house numerous international and national racing events on a professional level, although regular track days, exhibitions or super car meets such as Gran Turismo Polonia are also held here. It is also one of few locations where you can apply and train for a professional racing license.
Kartodrom Bydgoszcz
The last track on the list of today’s recommendations is the one in the charming city of Bydgoszcz. The track itself is narrow and the corners are tight, making it a solid favourite among countless motorcycle riders and go-kart races. What is special about it though, is the fact that the track is located within city limits just by the beautiful and unspoiled river Brda that cuts across the city. Regardless where you are in Bydgoszcz, it will take you about 15 minutes to get to track and start racing.
