The 9th Polish Vehicle Production Rally (IX Zlot Pojazdów Produkcji Polskiej) took place in Borsk from June 2nd to June 4th, 2023, attracting more than 180 participants who showcased approximately 120 vehicles of Polish origin. While predominantly featuring cars, the event also included motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, and even tractors.
Through a voting process, attendees had the opportunity to select the winners in various categories, including “Car of the Event”, “Oldest Vehicle of the Event”, “Most Interesting Modification” and “Most Original Vehicle”. This engaging approach allowed participants to actively contribute to the event and played a pivotal role in determining the ultimate victors.
On Saturday, various competitions were organized for both adult and child participants. They had the chance to demonstrate their mechanical skills in the “Timing Belt Replacement” competition, as well as test their motor skills in the “Reverse Fiat” driving challenge around the manoeuvring area. The challenge involved changing the steering system so that when turning right, the car would go left, and vice versa.
An exciting outdoor game was also organized, inviting families and groups to embark on a treasure hunt-style adventure, deciphering encrypted clues to locate concealed car parts scattered throughout the rally grounds.
The youngest participants had their chance to shine in the bicycle and pedal car slalom. Bursting with enthusiasm and energy, these budding automotive enthusiasts raced through a dedicated course, relishing every moment and basking in the applause of the gathered spectators.
In addition to the exciting competitions and vibrant atmosphere, the 9th Polish Vehicle Production Rally received generous support from sponsors, including EPCIDO, who contributed to the event by providing prizes for the rally participants. Among the enticing rewards were tool kits, essential for any automotive enthusiast, and charming company mascots in the form of adorable little bears.
