Polish sensation Maksymilian Pawelczak makes his hotly-anticipated FIM Speedway Grand Prix debut after being named as wild card for the DEWALT FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun on September 26.
The 16-year-old talent lines up in the famous No.16 race jacket for the final Speedway GP event of 2026 at the Marian Rose Motoarena – less than an hour from home city Bydgoszcz, where he has rapidly emerged as one of the sport’s brightest talents.
Pawelczak was crowned FIM Speedway Youth world champion on a 250cc bike at the 2024 FIM SGP3 Final – Gorzow and has since made a big impression in 500cc competition.
He is currently second in his first-ever FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship series and has a great chance to secure a medal at the final round, the Deluxe Homeart FIM SGP2 of Denmark – Vojens on September 11.
Pawelczak is also impressing with boyhood club Bydgoszcz as he bids to help them regain their place in the PGE Ekstraliga for the first time since 2013. He is an impressive fourth in the Metalkas 2. Ekstraliga average charts on 2.306 points per race. He also rides for Swedish club Vargarna.
The line-up for the DEWALT FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun is completed by track reserves Antoni Kawczynski and Oskar Paluch, with the Polish young guns wearing the No.17 and No.18 race jackets respectively.
