Konrad Dąbrowski finished the Rallye du Maroc in Zagora on 3 October in third place in the Junior classification. In Rally2, the DUUST Rally Team rider came fifteenth. It was his first rally appearance in ORLEN OIL colours. The Polish motorsport federation PZM reported on the result on the final day; the Rally Training Center published its review on 5 October.
Fifth in the prologue, then health problems
In the opening 18-kilometre prologue, Dąbrowski set the fifth-fastest Rally2 time. According to ORLEN OIL, he was both the fastest Junior and the best rider outside the factory teams. The Morocco rally was his first event at this level since the Dakar in January. In between came a crash at the Baja Montes Alentejano in Portugal, followed by rehabilitation.
As the rally went on, health problems sapped his strength. Dąbrowski described this in his finish summary published by PZM. He called the outing preparation for the Dakar and a return to racing rhythm. Despite the discomfort, he completed the rally in full.
ORLEN OIL partnership since September
The cooperation with ORLEN OIL had already been announced on 15 September. Dąbrowski has since been one of the company’s brand ambassadors. According to the sponsor, the agreement also includes activities for its motorcycle products. In reports on the Morocco outing, his race team remains DUUST.
