The Grand Prix event in Tricity is a part of Polish Mountain Rally Championships. The whole event consists of 14 rounds, which take place in various, picturesque locations around the country. Tricity hosts the 9th and the 10th round of the race.
A spectacular location
The street connecting Gdynia Karwiny with Sopot Brodwino areas is truly a charming location. It is a road leading downhill through the forest of the Tricity Landscape Park.

This all creates an extraordinary experience for drivers as well as fans gathered to see the Grand Prix.

Among 71 participants, we will see the top 3 drivers of the general classification of the Championships.
