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] [8] [9]

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. [10] [11]

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. [12] 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. [13] [14]

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. [15] [16]

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. [17]

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. [18] After scoring their maiden podium in the 4 Hours of Castellet, the team achieved a fifth-place finish in the general LMP3 standings. [19]

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. [20]

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. [21]

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. [22] 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. 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. [23] [24]

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. [25]

The team was represented in BOSS GP again by Walter Seding behind the wheel of Dallara GP2/05. Steding finished fourth overall. [26]

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. [27]

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. [28] 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. [29] [30] 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 (who replaced Léo Roussel three weeks before the race as the effect of Roussel's back injury), [31] 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. [32]

In team's last season in BOSS GP the only full-season driver Walter Steding took 9th place in the general standings. [33]

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. [34] 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. [35] 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 [36] and Matevos Isaakyan [37] 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. [38] 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. [39]

The team appeared on the grid of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race for the second time, struggling with technical [40] and regulatory [41] 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. [42] 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. [43]

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. [44] [45] 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. [46] Louis Delétraz replaced van der Zande in the race at Portimão. [47]

In their first races in WEC, the "Turbo Bakers" 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. [48]

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 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. [49] 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" [50] and claiming that "this brilliant team have a huge future." [51]

The team finished the two WEC season-ending races at Bahrain in ninth [52] (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, [53] 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. [54] 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 [55] - thanks to the efforts of German Martin Hippe, [56] who has been driving for the team since the 2016 season, young Belgian Ugo de Wilde [57] 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. [58] [59] 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 [60] and a Pole Mateusz Kaprzyk. [61]

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. [62] [63] [64] [65]

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 V-Series.R development, has been replaced by a Mexican former Formula 1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez. [66] [67] [68]

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. [69]

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, [70] to technical problems, [71] to the car not complying with the regulations. [72] 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. [73]

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. [74] [75]

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. [76] The ELMS also saw significant progress, with the #43 crew placing 2nd at Spa-Francorchamps after starting from the bottom of the pile, [77] 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. [78] [79] Car No. 14, meanwhile, finished last, 13th overall, mainly as a result of slow runs and numerous mistakes by James Dayson. [80]

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. [81]

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. [82] [83] [84] [85] [86] Despite having signed contract for 2023, [87] 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. The second LMP3 car, having been denied the ELMS entry, [88] 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. [89]

The season started with a four car effort in Asian Le Mans Series. LMP2 car was very quick throughout 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. [90]

During the next stage of the season, the team continued to demonstrate significant progress in the LMP2 racing. 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. [91]

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. [92]

Śmiechowski, Scherer and Costa showed excellent pace, which second-place finisher Robert Kubica described as "in a league of its own" [93] 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 [94] and a safety car infringement, for which the team had to serve a drive-through penalty. [95] 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 and heel damage and an incomplete fracture to his mid-left foot with three bones broken. 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. [96] [97] [98] 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. [99] 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. [100] [101] 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 'after deep analysis' found all cars - including the Polish team's Oreca - in compliance with their respective regulations. [102]

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). [103] 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). [104]

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. [105] At Aragon they had to withdraw from the race after an unfaulted crash. [106] 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. [107]

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 included 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 was the race at Le Mans. Inter Europol also entered its cars in the less prestigious series - a Ligier JS P4 in the Ligier European Series [108] and the Ligier JS P320 in the Ultimate Cup. [109]

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 was left to PR1, while the engineers working on it came from both teams. The selection of drivers - including Tom Dillmann and Jakub Śmiechowski - was down to the team from Poland. [110]

As part of the team's European programme, the only driver remaining from the 2023 season was Kai Askey, who was 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 were 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 were 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 cars. [111]

The team has also received an invitation to compete in the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, in which it fielded one car, driven by Lomko, Novalak and Śmiechowski. [112] The second requested entry has been put on the reserve list.

The season was started with two racess in America - the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring . 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. [113] Boulle, Dillmann and Śmiechowski finished the race at Sebring in sixth place. [114]

The European part of the season started very well for the team. In Barcelona, Bukhantsov and Koen scored the first podium in the team's short history of Le Mans Cup starts, [115] while the ELMS cars finished in the middle of the pack. [116] The results of the crews in the race at Circuit Paul Ricard were completely different. This time it was the drivers, competing in the Le Mans Cup, who finished in the middle of the pack, while in the ELMS both the #88 and #34 cars failed to reach the finish line due to technical problems. Novalak, driving the #34, withdrew from the race 20 minutes before the end while in the lead position, depriving the team of the 1-2 result. However, the race was won by the #43 car, which was in second place until Novalak's breakdown, marking the team's first win in the LMP2 class of the series. [117]

In the 92nd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team came very close to defending last year's victory. Śmiechowski, Lomko and Novalak finished second, 18 seconds behind the winners from United Autosports, which included former team driver Nolan Siegel. [118] In the fourth hour of the race, Novalak again found himself in an unfortunate situation, losing his left front wheel and returning to the pits on three wheels, soon coming down for another enforced stop to change the front of the car. [119] [120] In the final hours of the classic, the gaps between the top six of the LMP2 remained very small, with Lomko and Novalak moving into the lead on several occasions. [121] [122] Eventually the Frenchman brought the car to the finish in second position.

The American outings of the team in the second half of the season brought them IMSA LMP2 champions title in the debut year. Victory at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, podiums at Watkins Glen and Indianapolis and overall consistent performance from Inter Europol by PR1/Mathiasen, with 7th at Road America being the worst result of the season, not only brought the Polish-American project the champions’ crown, but also an invitation for team’s bronze driver Nick Boulle to 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans – with Boulle intending to choose Inter Europol Competition as his team for the race. [123] [124]

The European side of the program went almost just as well for Turbo Bakers. Victory at the Paul Ricard turned out to be the only one of the season, but just as in IMSA consistency (7th similarly being worst result) was the deciding factor on the way to second position in overall classification for the informal captain of the #43 car Dillmann, as well as Lomko and Alvarez. The crew finished the final race of the season in Portimao in fourth place, after a 10-second penalty was imposed, correctly served, only to be finally reversed, all having a significant impact on the race - what Dillmann called “a disgusting lack of due diligence”. [125] [126] Driving the No. 34 Oreca 07, Ghiotto, Gray and Novalak placed seventh overall, scoring a single podium in Mugello. While they presented a similar pace to their sister car, the overall performance of this crew was not so consistent. The LMP3 car, plagued by issues throughout the season, just as #34 scored a single podium in the campaign, which was enough only for 9th, next-to-last, place overall. Second place in championship guaranteed Inter Europol double entry for the 2025 24h Le Mans, with an official invitation handed. [127]

The second season in the Le Mans Cup series ended with better results than the first. Bukhantsov and Koen ended the season in 11th place overall, while Creswick and Gravlund (replaced at Mugello by Daniel Ali due to Gravlund's injury) [128] generally presented a weaker pace and finished the season in 19th place.

2025

In 2025 Inter Europol Competition is set to again take part in IMSA SportsCar Championship with a single LMP2 car, numbered 43 - with a standalone effort, managed from a new base which is being set up in the United States. Team confirmed also return to the Asian Le Mans Series with a single LMP2 and LMP3 car apiece. Finally, Inter Europol is expected to return to the ELMS in 2025 and renew its presence on the series’ support package which includes the Le Mans Cup and Ligier European Series. With two official invitations received - one for Nick Boulle for winning the IMSA Jim Trueman Award and another for the team for placing 2nd overall in 2024 ELMS - the team also intends to race at the 24h Le Mans.
