Inter Europol Competition is a Polish motorsports team that competes in endurance racing. The team contests the 24 Hours of Le Mans, European Le Mans Series, Le Mans Cup and IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2024. [1] [2] [3] [4] They formerly competed in FIA World Endurance Championship, Asian Le Mans Series, BOSS GP, V de V Endurance Series and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. As a reference to the focus of its owner and sponsor, the bakery goods producer Inter Europol SA, the team is often referred to as Turbo Piekarze (Turbo Bakers). [5] [6] [7]

History

Beginnings and pre-endurance efforts

The team was founded in 2010 and grew out of a cooperation between Maurycy Kochański's Kochanski Motorsport and Michael Keese Motorsport. Their joint effort competed first in Formula Ford and Formula Three, then in 2009 in the Italian Formula Renault Championship and in 2010 in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. At the end of the 2010 season, Kochański ran into financial problems. His share in the team was taken over by Wojciech Śmiechowski, father of its driver Jakub Śmiechowski and owner of the Inter Europol SA bakery. The new team was named Inter Europol Competition after its new owner-sponsor. [8] [9]

Inter Europol Competition started as a single-seater team. Inter Europol's drivers competed in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup in the 2010–2016 seasons, with team's drivers' best overall result being 12th by Jakub Śmiechowski in the 2011 season. [10] 2014 marked the beginning of 6-years long team's effort in BOSS GP, which championship was claimed by Jakub Śmiechowski in that year. Śmiechowski also finished as the runner-up in the 2015 season. [11] [12]

2016

2016 marked an important milestone for Inter Europol Competition as the team made its full European Le Mans Series and 2016 V de V Endurance Series entries, taking first steps in the endurance racing. The maiden LMP3 campaign in the ELMS with Jakub Śmiechowski and Jens Petersen driving the Ligier JS P3 brought the team 10th place overall. The effort in the V de V was more successful, as Śmiechowski paired with Martin Hippe claimed the championship of the series. [13] [14]

Third season of Inter Europol Competition in the BOSS GP and the first one without Jakub Śmiechowski behind the wheel brought 8th place for the Dane Jens Renstrup, who drove a Dallara GP2/05. [15]

In their second year in the endurance racing Inter Europol Competition continued their effort in the European Le Mans Series, bringing to the field a single LMP3 car, Ligier JS P3 number 13. Jens Petersen has been replaced by Martin Hippe, who became team's regular ELMS driver in the years to come. [16] After scoring their maiden podium in the 4 Hours of Castellet, the team achieved a fifth-place finish in the general LMP3 standings. [17]

The team entered the V de V Endurance Series as well, claiming the championship with a car number 22 with Jakub Śmiechowski and Hendrik Still behind the wheel. The best of the car number 33 drivers, Paul Scheuschner, finished eighth. [18]

Walter Steding, driving a Dallara GP2/05 for Inter Europol Competition in his first season, claimed 8th position in the overall classification of the BOSS GP. [19]

2018

In 2018 Inter Europol Competition once again entered the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series, this time with two Ligier JS P3 cars. [20] 2018 was a breakthrough for a car number 13, as Martin Hippe and Jakub Śmiechowski scored a race win in 4 Hours of Portimão and a third place in 4 Hours of Red Bull Ring – two podiums in total - to finish runners-up in the championship standings. [21] A new entry from the team, car number 14, hosted a total of six drivers in six races, resulting in 15th place in the final LMP3 classification.

2018 marked the final run of Inter Europol Competition in the V de V Endurance series. Paul Scheuschner, driving a car number 33, finished 3rd in the general standings, while the pair of Jakub Śmiechowski and Pontus Fredriksson in a car number 22 claimed 5th overall. [22]

The team was represented in BOSS GP again by Walter Seding behind the wheel of Dallara GP2/05. Steding finished fourth overall. [23]

2019

The new season saw Inter Europol Competition branching out into new territory of Asian Le Mans Series with Martin Hippe and Jakub Śmiechowski behind the wheel of a number 13 Ligier JS P3 car. The campaign proved to be successful for the team, which claimed the overall victory and an invitation for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans race. [24]

In the European Le Mans Series the team stepped up to the LMP2 class after purchasing a Ligier JS P217 in addition to fielding two LMP3 Ligier JS P3 cars for the second consecutive year. [25] The LMP2 campaign didn't bring good results and after frequent lineup changes Inter Europol Competition claimed 17th place in the overall classification. The effort of Martin Hippe pairing up with Nigel Moore, who replaced Jakub Śmiechowski behind the wheel of a car number 13 in the LMP3 class, turned out to be much more fruitful with the team claiming the back-to-back 2nd place overall after a penalty in the last race of the season and rejection of the team's appeal. [26] [27] Car number 14 finished 12th overall.

In June Inter Europol Competition made their debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Jakub Śmiechowski, Nigel Moore and James Winslow, driving a Ligier JS P217, recorded 45th in the race overall standings and 16th in the LMP2 class standings, after having dealt with a lot of technical issues. [28]

In team's last season in BOSS GP the only full-season driver Walter Steding took 9th place in the general standings. [29]

2020

Inter Europol Competition again started the year with Asian Le Mans Series bid, claiming 4th with car 33 and 5th with car 34 in the LMP2 standings. [30] The cars were driven by John Corbett, Nathan Kumar, Mitchell Neilson and Danial Frost, as well as Mathias Beche, Jakub Śmiechowski and James Winslow respectively. [31] The team ran also one full season entry in the LMP3 class with car 13, raced by Martin Hippe and Nigel Moore, who finished 3rd overall, and two part season entries with cars 14 and 18.

Inter Europol Competition contested the shortened European Le Mans Series season as well, with one entry in LMP2 and LMP3 classes. LMP2 34 car, the only Ligier on the grid, saw a major lineup overhaul with Rene Binder [32] and Matevos Isaakyan [33] joining Jakub Śmiechowski for the ELMS and Le Mans effort. For its LMP3 bid, the team retained the duo of Martin Hippe and Nigel Moore. [34] The LMP2 crew finished the season 12th overall, while Hippe, Moore and Dino Lunardi, who replaced Moore for last two races of the season, claimed the third consecutive ELMS LMP3 vice champion title for the Inter Europol Competition. [35]

The team appeared on the grid of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race for the second time, struggling with technical [36] and regulatory [37] issues, finishing 17th in class and 45th overall.

Inter Europol Competition wrapped the 2020 season up with two races of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, in which the team used the Oreca 07 prototype for the first time. They finished 3rd in LMP2 class and 9th overall in the Petit Le Mans. [38] 12 Hours of Sebring proved to be a more difficult challenge; after Śmiechowski's spin in the 4th hour of the race and subsequent repairs car 51 finished 4th in class and 17th overall. [39]

2021

With a single Oreca 07 the team contested the LMP2 class of World Endurance Championship, moving up there from European Le Mans Series. Car 34 was driven by Jakub Śmiechowski, Renger van der Zande and Alex Brundle. [40] [41] Hélio Castroneves was to drive for the team in 1000 Miles of Sebring as a substitute for van der Zande due to Dutchman's IMSA SportsCar Championship commitments, but the race has been cancelled. [42] Louis Delétraz replaced van der Zande in the race at Portimão. [43]

In their first races in WEC, the "Turbo Bakers" have been in the broad front of the pack and have steadily improved their results, placing 5th in the 6 Hours of Spa and 8 Hours of Portimão, as well as 4th in the 6 Hours of Monza. [44]

The team's third participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the most successful race to date - the team finished 5th in the LMP2 class and 10th overall. Śmiechowski, Brundle and van der Zande, driving a car number 34, showed a good pace and avoided major mistakes and bad luck - with the exceptions of a puncture in Brundle's car, an unfaulted collision with the Racing Team India Eurasia car and problems with the refuelling machine. [45] The team's drivers expressed their great satisfaction with the weekend at Circuit de la Sarthe, describing it as "an amazing result for such a small team" [46] and claiming that "this brilliant team have a huge future." [47]

The team finished the two WEC season-ending races at Bahrain in ninth [48] (after incidents such as a collision with a United Autosports car, having to make an extra stop due to a door failure, and a 4-minute penalty for a tire allocation infringement) and fifth, [49] allowing Inter Europol Competition to finish its debut season in the World Endurance Championship in 5th place.

The other part of Inter Europol Competition racing programme for 2021 was LMP3 class of European Le Mans Series, in which the team took part running two Ligier JS P320 machineries. [50] Prototype number 13, as in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, recorded better results than its sister crew, scoring three podiums in total, including one win - thanks to the efforts of German Martin Hippe, [51] who has been driving for the team since the 2016 season, young Belgian Ugo de Wilde [52] and their changing partners. This was enough to finish fourth overall, the weakest result since the 2018 season - primarily due to crashes and car's failures at Le Castellet and Spa-Francorchamps. [53] [54] Crew number 14 recorded results in the middle of the ELMS stakes, finishing 6th overall - the best result ever for the #14. A total of nine drivers drove a second Ligier, including a former Italian motorcycle road racer Mattia Pasini [55] and a Pole Mateusz Kaprzyk. [56]

2022

Inter Europol Competition began their season with a single LMP3 entry in the Asian Le Mans Series, finishing 7th despite showing a race-winning pace - after a sudden and forced change to the driver line-up, technical problems and drivers' mistakes. [57] [58] [59] [60]

For the 2022 season the team expanded their programme, which included two LMP2 entries in total - one in the World Endurance Championship and the other in the European Le Mans Series, as well as two LMP3 cars in the ELMS. The WEC project continued with Alex Brundle, who has renewed contract with the team, and Jakub Śmiechowski, who once again acted as a driver and team principal. Van der Zande, busy with Cadillac LMDh development, has been replaced by a Mexican former Formula 1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez. [61] [62]

The ELMS LMP2 car was driven by a Formula 1 test driver Pietro Fittipaldi, returning to endurance racing after a 2-year hiatus David Heinemeier Hansson and a Swiss Fabio Scherer. LMP3 Ligier number 13 saw Charles Crews, Guilherme de Oliveira and Nico Pino behind the wheel, while Noam Abramczyk, James Dayson and Mateusz Kaprzyk drove the #14. [63]

The first part of the season was extremely difficult for the team. In every race Inter Europol Competition was struggling with all kinds of problems - from drivers' mistakes, [64] to technical problems, [65] to the car not complying with the regulations. [66] As a result, after the first two races the team was at the end of WEC and ELMS general classifications. The main reasons for the team's poor performance were the sudden departure of Rafał Pokora - team's technical director, the need to restructure the team and significant turnover among the staff. [67]

Both LMP2 cars took part in the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans and crossed the finish line in 13th (number 34) and 14th (number 43) place in class. The WEC car struggled with maximum speed, which was partially resolved by the engine change hours before the race, and other lesser issues. Car number 43 (loaned from the DragonSpeed team, as Oreca due to worldwide supply chain issues wasn't able to deliver the purchased car on time) has been climbing up the ranks up till early morning, when the ignition coil failure forced Heinemeier Hansson to come to the pits for repairs, which eliminated the crew from the podium contention. [68] [69]

The second part of the season went more successfully for the team. The WEC season was completed by Brundle, Gutierrez and Śmiechowski in 11th place. The team showed itself from a particularly good side at Monza, taking 4th place there, even holding on to the lead less than an hour before the finish. [70] The ELMS also saw significant progress, with the #43 crew placing 2nd at Spa-Francorchamps after starting from the bottom of the pile, and 4th in the season finale at Portimao, finishing the year in 8th place.

In the LMP3 class, Inter Europol Competition recorded its fourth runner-up finish in the past five years. After three wins in a row at Monza, Circuit de Catalunya and Spa-Francorchamps, the championship was lost an hour before the finish of the 4 Hours of Portimao - as a result of a collision between Nico Pino and Mathias Beche and the resulting suspension damage. The damage, originally resulting in a significant pace drop, soon proved to be terminal and eliminated the car from the race 12 minutes before the end of the season. [71] Car No. 14, meanwhile, finished last, 13th overall, mainly as a result of slow runs and numerous mistakes by James Dayson. [72]

The last part of the team's 2022 effort was a guest start in the new Prototype Cup Germany series - with a single LMP3 car, driven by James Winslow, returning to the team, and Damian Ciosek. They have finished 6th and 2nd during the weekend at Spa-Francorchamps. [73]

2023

The team contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans, FIA World Endurance Championship, European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and Le Mans Cup in 2023 with respectively two, one, two, four and three entries. [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] Despite having signed contract for 2023, [79] Alex Brundle has departed the team, as did Esteban Gutierrez. In the WEC Śmiechowski was joined by Fabio Scherer, moving up from the ELMS crew, and Albert Costa, former Lamborghini factory driver. ELMS effort, scaled down to two cars, saw 6 new drivers, amongst them former Formula 2 driver Olli Caldwell and a youngster Kai Askey. The second LMP3 car, having been denied the ELMS entry, [80] has been moved to the brand-new three car Le Mans Cup effort, with a car number 14 not bearing the usual green and yellow livery as a part of a deal with a driver and businessman Andres Latorre. [81]

The season started with a four car effort in Asian Le Mans Series. LMP2 car was very quick throghout the whole season, with blistering pace of Nolan Siegel being one of the most important factors. However, two mechanical failures in last minutes of the first and last races, with Siegel respectively in P3 and P1, stripped the team from the championship. LMP3 crews finished 7th, 12th and 15th (last) in the general standings. [82]

During the next stage of the season, the team continued to demonstrate significant progress in their understanding of the Oreca 07. In all three WEC races preceding the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the pace of the 'Bakers' allowed them to fight for top places, resulting in 4th place at Sebring and their first podium in the world championship - 3rd place at Spa. Before Le Mans, the team was in 5th place in the WEC overall standings, with a 5 point loss to 3rd place. [83]

The team's progress was ultimately confirmed at the victorious 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team again fielded two cars - a regular car competing in the WEC and a car numbered 32, crewed by Jan Magnussen, for whom this was his 24th participation in the classic, Anders Fjordbach and amateur driver Mark Kvamme (the crew started in the Pro-am subclass). The crew of the second car ended its participation in the race during the night after Magnussen's accident.

Śmiechowski, Scherer and Costa showed excellent pace, which second-place finisher Robert Kubica described as "in a league of its own" [84] and avoided mistakes other than Costa's minor exit in a gravel trap in the Mulsanne's corner in the final hours of the race and a safety car infringement, for which the team had to serve a drive-through penalty. [85] Widely recognized was Scherer's drive, who got hit in the leg by a Corvette Racing machinery when exiting the car in the first hour of the race and suffered ligament damage and an incomplete fracture to his mid-left foot. After being cared for by the team's physiotherapists, the Swiss maintained a good pace and spent more than eight hours behind the wheel of the Oreca 07, despite having to change his braking method and limping on one leg when getting in and out of the car. Scherer also had to deal with a radio malfunction at the end of the race. [86] [87] A big improvement was made by Jakub Śmiechowski, who showed the pace of a quality silver-category driver, and Albert Costa was, as usual, the team's fastest driver. [88] The 24 Hours of Le Mans win lifted the team to second place in the WEC general classification.

After the race, the team's rivals, notably the driver of the second-placed car at the finish, Louis Deletraz, accused the team of breaching the technical regulations, citing short refuelling times, low fuel consumption and high acceleration of the car. [89] [90] After a procedure that lasted more than a month, the race organisers officially confirmed the results on the basis of a report from the FIA and ACO technical delegates, who found all cars - including the Polish team's Oreca - in compliance with their respective regulations. [91]

In the second part of the WEC season, the team finished in the middle of the pack three times, including sixth place in the season finale in Bahrain (despite two electronics failures that stripped the team of a podium place). [92] The 114 points allowed Śmiechowski, Scherer and Costa to finish the season in second place in the overall world championship standings. This was how the team ended its three-year stint in the WEC, following the removal of the LMP2 class from the series (with the exception of the 24 Hours of Le Mans). [93]

The ELMS season was not particularly successful for the IEC. In the LMP2 class, a gearbox failure in the first race proved to be the harbinger of the whole season, during which Aberdein, Andrade and Caldwell scored just one podium in the seven-team field. The drivers showed mostly average pace as well as kept making mistakes. At Aragon they had to withdraw from the race after an unfaulted crash. [94] The team showed from a better side in the LMP3 class, whose season ended in fourth place overall with two second places. The drivers of a Ligier JS P320 were not lucky either – not finishing two races, at Aragon and Algarve, was due to car breakdowns. [95]

The team's debut season in the Le Mans Cup saw all three crews finish in last places in the overall standings. The best and most consistent performances came from the drivers of the number 15 car, Bryson Morris and Chris Short, while Santiago Concepción Serrano and Ben Stone of the number 13 Ligier failed to finish as many as five out of the seven races of the season.

2024

The team's programme for the 2024 season includes 24 Hours of Le Mans - with one LMP2 car, [1] European Le Mans Series - with two LMP2s and one LMP3, [2] Le Mans Cup - with two cars in the LMP3 class [3] and the IMSA SportsCar Championship with one entry in the LMP2 class. [4] As a result of the withdrawal of the LMP2 class from the FIA WEC, the team's only start in this series will be the race at Le Mans.

In the IMSA series the team's management decided to partner with the American PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports team, due to lack of familiarity with the specifics of car racing in the USA and logistical issues. The day-to-day running of the car is left to PR1, while the engineers working on it come from both teams. The selection of drivers - including Tom Dillmann and Jakub Śmiechowski - is down to the team from Poland. [96]

The season was started with the 24 Hours of Daytona. The first race was completed in 4th place, less than 3 tenths of a second off the podium. The team's fourth driver at Daytona, in addition to Dillmann, Śmiechowski and American jewellery company owner Nick Boulle, was Pietro Fittipaldi, returning to the team after a year's break, who had not driven a single practice session with the team before the race. Fittipaldi replaced Clément Novalak the day before the start - due to an injury sustained by the Frenchman. [97]

As part of the team's European programme, the only driver remaining from the 2023 season is Kai Askey, who is joined in the LMP3 class of the ELMS series by Alexander Bukhantsov and Pedro Perino, with the team's car numbered 88. The LMP2 cars are driven by Luca Ghiotto, Clement Novalak and Oliver Gray (number 34), with the number 43 Oreca driven by prototype-experienced Sebastián Álvarez, Tom Dillmann and Vladislav Lomko. In the Le Mans Cup, two Ligier JS P320s are fielded - with numbers 34 and 43. Thus, for the first time since the start of the endurance programme, the team has dropped the number 13 from its LMP3 cars. [98]

The team has also received an invitation to compete in the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, in which it will field one car. The second requested entry has been put on the reserve list.
