Karting racing // Poland
Polish rally driver Amelia Wyszomirska has established herself as a rising star in European motorsports, excelling in both national and international rally championships since 2019.
EARLY YEARS
Born and raised in Warsaw, Poland, in a family with no prior ties to motorsports, Amelia was introduced to karting at age seven by her father, an amateur enthusiast. Her parents prioritized her passion for speed over traditional activities, providing a foundation described as “supportive but unconventional”[1][2]. Weekend trips to Warsaw’s Tor Bemowo circuit became routine, where she began competitive karting by age nine as the only girl in her racing class—a situation that fueled her determination when she famously noted, “I wanted to prove that a dress and a helmet weren’t mutually exclusive”[1].
EARLY SUCCESS
Wyszomirska’s family often traveled to rural areas for competitions due to Warsaw’s limited motorsports infrastructure, developing resilience and adaptability that would define her racing approach[3]. This early exposure to competitive environments prepared her for the challenges of professional racing, laying groundwork for her later career in the Polish Rally Championship.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2019: Competed in the Polish Rally Championship with multiple top-five finishes in the 2WD class, including a podium at Rajd Śląska[4].
- 2020: Achieved 2nd place in the 2WD category at the historic Rajd Barbórka rally event in Poland[5].
- 2021: Debuted in the European Rally Championship (ERC) at Rally Liepāja, finishing 12th in the ERC3 class[6].
- 2022: Won the Women’s Trophy in the Polish Rally Championship, demonstrating consistency across six national rallies[7].
REPUTATION
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Amelia aims to solidify her career in elite racing circuits following her 2024 signing with Prema Racing for the FIA Formula 3 Championship. Looking beyond her current Formula 3 campaign, she targets a Formula 2 seat by 2026, with ultimate aspirations of reaching Formula 1—a goal she outlined in a 2023 Motorsport Magazine interview, emphasizing her “step-by-step approach” modeled after predecessors like Mick Schumacher[8].
