- Establishing cooperation with ORLEN as the Strategic Sponsor of the Speedway Euro Championship is a huge distinction and a reason to be proud for us, considering the noble group of events and athletes supported by ORLEN that we have the honor to join. It is an expression of trust in our vision for the development of the series and a confirmation that together we can build an even stronger position for speedway in Europe. We thank ORLEN for their trust and we are glad that together we will create further chapters in the history of the Speedway Euro Championship - said Karolina Jankowska, President of the Management Board of One Sport, the promoter of the SEC series.
The cooperation between ORLEN and SEC will also have a social dimension. The series will become a communication platform for educational activities related to road safety. Utilizing the presence of thousands of fans in the stadiums and the media reach of the events, responsible driving behaviors and the principles of safe road use will be promoted.
- The Speedway European Championship has gained its reputation, which is confirmed by the line-up of riders who will compete in this year's series. We are glad that we have become part of this year's edition, whose four finals will take place on tracks in Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, where we operate as ORLEN - emphasized Paweł Patkowski, Director of the Sports Sponsorship Office at ORLEN S.A.
