Everyone who followed last year’s edition of Ultrace may remember, what a challenge we had to face the reality and still to make the event happen. You know us, once we say something, we are doing it for 101% of what is actually possible to be done. It came out, that even global pandemics can’t stop us and the automotive enthusiasts from getting to International Congress Center in Katowice. For us, it had a very special meaning and was extremely important, especially in the context of our brand's tenth anniversary. Despite the undoubted luck, our concerns about the possibility of organizing this year’s edition were no fewer than last time, though seemingly everyone has almost forgotten about the virus, and over time the COVID-19 headlines were gone, we still felt a sort of anxiety. Countless questions were endlessly coming up. Can we avoid the restrictions? Will it be possible to enter our country from abroad? Will there be people willing to visit the event, apart from sponsors and car owners? And eventually: won't be the event banned at the last moment?
Luckily for everyone, all of the questions above found the answer accurate to our expectations, which simply means that our luck reserve isn’t empty yet. The key point was a return to the place that is the most associated with Raceism and Ultrace, i.e. the Municipal Stadium in Wrocław. It allowed us to resolve most of the logistic and organizational matters, and what was most important, to take another step forward raising the bar once again. This time with fewer worries or forced by the unfavorable condition compromises. Now, finally, we can officially say it: despite many adversities and problems being the direct or indirect effect of the pandemics, we managed to maintain continuity of the event as one of a few, not only in Europe but all around the world. Consistency, experience, and flexibility allowed us to deliver a top-quality automotive experience on an exceptional level.
It is obvious though, this state isn’t only the credit of our work and efforts over the year, but also our sponsors, drivers, and guests, who once again did not disappoint us. This year we decided to change the concept of cooperation with our partners, therefore among the general sponsors, you could find only four brands - Maxton Design, Rotiform, ADBL, and AirLift Performance. The main partners were supplied with individual marketing solutions at the exhibition however, it didn't translate to the lack of other significant companies on the site. Enough to mention, players like Shiny Garage, MAPET-Tuning, or Grinds. In other words, the overall representation of the partners was more than strong.
There was an equally strong representation of the projects themselves, which, although it may be hard to believe, once again broke the previously established level - at least in our eyes. It is enough to mention that under the stage arranged with white containers, we collected as many as four projects created based on the Kyza renders, also found on this year’s event poster. We’re talking here about the crazy Mk2 Golf of JP Performance, two fantastic BMW e30 LTO, and officially premiered at the event Corvette C3 of Mapet-tuning. We could write about the remaining cars for a long time, in the end, we gathered as many as 700 of them in the stadium and virtually all of them deserved even a word of mention, but in our opinion much better than reading about them will be to see them in our extensive photo coverage. Note that this year Wrocław was visited by drivers from Germany, Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, and many other countries, we could also meet crews like Hoonigan, Lownatics, Flgntlt, Ilb Drivers Club, Kean Suspensions, Carswag, Eurocrew, Camber, Pipifein or Rad48. It is also worth adding that the so-called point zero, i.e. the space around the stage, was filled, just like last year, by platforms with selected projects, which, in our opinion, perfectly matched the atmosphere of the stadium and the event itself.
Another meaningful aspect of this year’s edition was the new section of Megacars, which was created courtesy of collector.73 and transporter_pl. In this field among these special vehicles appeared engineering magnificence of Koenigsegg Regera, Pagani Huayra, Ferrari Enzo, McLaren Senna, Porsche 918… We skimmed the cream of the automotive art, giving ourselves a huge shot of the motivation to continue that trend in the future.
Despite our concerns, even the weather seemed to make an exception for us, the forecast of heavy rain turn out not to match the actual situation. It surely helped to achieve record-breaking attendance.
The slogan placed on the container „Ultra Automotive Experience” set the direction for this year's event and you will probably agree that it did not turn out to be exaggerated. Thanks to the success of this year's edition, we started working on Ultrace '22 with even greater enthusiasm and we can tell you already that we will fly even higher. What’s coming up will be better and go harder, so there is definitely what to wait for. But now in the meantime, enjoy the excellent photo coverage of the 2021 event.
