Inter Europol Competition is a Polish endurance racing team that participates in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, IMSA SportsCar Championship, European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and Le Mans Cup in 2025. The squad has previously competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship, V de V Endurance Series, BOSS GP, and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. Owned and financially supported by the bakery manufacturer Inter Europol SA, the team is commonly referred to as Turbo Piekarze (Turbo Bakers), a nickname inspired by its commercial sponsor.

2010-2015: Early single-seater activities

Established in 2010, the team originated from a collaboration between Maurycy Kochański's Kochanski Motorsport and Michael Keese Motorsport. They initially raced in Formula Ford and Formula Three before moving up to the Italian Formula Renault Championship in 2009 and subsequently competing in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup starting in 2010. Due to financial challenges, Kochański departed, and Wojciech Śmiechowski—father of driver Jakub Śmiechowski and proprietor of Inter Europol SA—acquired his stake. This transition led to the rebranding of the team as Inter Europol Competition to reflect its new ownership and sponsorship.

Between 2010 and 2016, Inter Europol Competition focused on single-seater racing, contesting the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. Their highest achievement during this period was Jakub Śmiechowski’s 12th place in the overall standings in 2011. In 2014, the team entered the BOSS GP series, where Śmiechowski claimed the championship title that year and finished second in 2015.

2016-2018: Entry into endurance racing

The year 2016 marked Inter Europol Competition’s debut in endurance racing, as they joined both the European Le Mans Series and the V de V Endurance Series. Competing with a Ligier JS P3 in ELMS, drivers Jakub Śmiechowski and Jens Petersen secured a tenth-place overall finish in the LMP3 category. Their campaign in the V de V Endurance Series proved more fruitful, with Śmiechowski partnering Martin Hippe to win the championship.

In 2017, the team maintained its ELMS presence with one LMP3 car (#13), replacing Jens Petersen with Martin Hippe alongside Śmiechowski. They earned their inaugural podium at the 4 Hours of Castellet and concluded the season fifth in the LMP3 rankings. Concurrently, Inter Europol continued competing in V de V, successfully defending their title with Śmiechowski and Hendrik Still piloting car #22, while their second entry (#33) saw its top driver finish eighth overall.

By 2018, Inter Europol expanded its ELMS program to field two Ligier JS P3 vehicles. Car #13, driven by Hippe and Śmiechowski, achieved a significant milestone by winning at the 4 Hours of Portimão and securing third place at the Red Bull Ring, ultimately finishing second in the championship standings. The second car (#14) featured six different drivers across six races and ended up 15th overall. That year also represented their final participation in V de V; Paul Scheuschner finished third driving car #33, while Śmiechowski and Fredriksson placed fifth with car #22.

During this timeframe, Inter Europol also competed in the BOSS GP without Jakub Śmiechowski’s involvement. Walter Seding achieved their best result by finishing fourth overall in 2018.

2019-2020: Entry into Le Mans and LMP2 Category

During 2019, Inter Europol Competition made its foray into the 2018–19 Asian Le Mans Series with drivers Martin Hippe and Jakub Śmiechowski piloting the number 13 Ligier JS P3. The team achieved an overall win, securing a spot at the prestigious 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In the 2019 European Le Mans Series, the squad stepped up to the LMP2 class by acquiring a Ligier JS P217, while still campaigning two LMP3 Ligier JS P3 vehicles. The LMP2 entry encountered difficulties, ending the season 17th overall after several driver changes. Nevertheless, the number 13 LMP3 car managed an impressive second place overall despite a late-season penalty and a failed appeal; meanwhile, car number 14 finished in 12th position.

June marked Inter Europol's inaugural appearance at the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans, with drivers Jakub Śmiechowski, Nigel Moore, and James Winslow—who stepped in for the injured Léo Roussel shortly before the event—behind the wheel of a Ligier JS P217. The team concluded the race 45th overall and 16th in the LMP2 category, hampered by technical issues.

In their concluding season in the BOSS GP, full-time racer Walter Steding secured ninth place in the championship standings.

In 2020, Inter Europol kicked off their campaign in the 2019–20 Asian Le Mans Series, finishing fourth and fifth in LMP2 with cars numbered 33 and 34 respectively. They also entered a full-season LMP3 effort (car 13), which ended third overall, complemented by two partial-season entries in cars 14 and 18.

Competing in a shortened 2020 European Le Mans Series, the team fielded one car each in LMP2 and LMP3. The LMP2 #34 Ligier saw significant driver lineup adjustments, incorporating Rene Binder and Matevos Isaakyan alongside Jakub Śmiechowski for both ELMS and the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. This crew finished 12th overall. Meanwhile, car number 13 in LMP3, driven by Hippe, Moore, and Dino Lunardi, secured their third straight ELMS LMP3 runner-up finish.

At their second outing in the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans, Inter Europol encountered technical setbacks and regulatory challenges, finishing 17th within their class and placing 45th overall.

The season wrapped up with two appearances in the 2020 IMSA SportsCar Championship, marking their debut with the Oreca 07 prototype. They achieved third place in LMP2 and ninth overall at the 2020 Petit Le Mans, followed by a fourth-place class finish and seventeenth position overall at the 2020 12 Hours of Sebring.

2021-2023: WEC Participation and Le Mans Triumph

In 2021, Inter Europol Competition entered the World Endurance Championship for the first time, fielding a single Oreca 07 numbered 34 with drivers Jakub Śmiechowski, Renger van der Zande, Alex Brundle, and Louis Delétraz. The team consistently placed mid-field, earning fifth place in four out of six races and concluding fifth overall. Their third appearance at the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans was their best to date, finishing fifth in LMP2 and tenth overall despite minor obstacles.

Simultaneously, within the European Le Mans Series LMP3 category, Inter Europol ran two Ligier JS P320 vehicles. The #13 car, featuring Martin Hippe and Ugo de Wilde among others, collected three podium finishes including a victory but ended fourth overall after encountering difficulties at Le Castellet and Spa-Francorchamps. The #14 car finished sixth with nine different drivers sharing duties.

The 2022 season commenced with a single LMP3 entry in the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series, ending seventh amid driver substitutions and technical challenges. The program expanded to include two LMP2 cars—one competing in WEC and another in ELMS—and two additional LMP3 cars within ELMS. The WEC campaign was marred by driver mistakes, mechanical failures, and insufficient pace, resulting in only 20 points and an eleventh-place finish. At the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans, Inter Europol secured 13th and 14th positions in class; setbacks included a late ignition coil failure on car #43 (borrowed from DragonSpeed) as well as internal restructuring following the departure of their technical director.

In ELMS competition, their LMP2 vehicle showed improvement toward season’s end by achieving the team’s first-ever podium in this category—a second place at Spa-Francorchamps—finishing eighth overall. The LMP3 campaign was turbulent: after an initial disqualification, they recorded three consecutive victories but ultimately lost the championship due to a last-lap collision causing irreparable suspension damage at Portimao. The #14 LMP3 entry concluded last because of slow performance and driver errors. Additionally, a guest appearance in the newly launched 2022 Prototype Cup Germany series resulted in a second-place finish at Spa-Francorchamps.

For 2023, Inter Europol entered multiple competitions across five series: two cars contested the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, one participated in WEC, two competed in ELMS, four took part in Asian Le Mans Series events, and three raced within the Le Mans Cup. In Asian Le Mans Series action, their LMP2 car demonstrated strong speed but suffered two late mechanical failures that cost them the championship; meanwhile, their LMP3 teams finished lower down the standings.

The WEC squad—comprising Śmiechowski, Albert Costa, and Fabio Scherer—finished as runners-up with 114 points during their final WEC season before LMP2 was discontinued outside of Le Mans participation. A highlight was winning the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans with two entries; car #34 driven by Śmiechowski, Scherer, and Costa claimed victory despite Scherer sustaining a serious injury during competition. Their performance was lauded for superior speed and consistency; second-place finisher Robert Kubica remarked they were "in a league of their own." Post-race technical inspections regarding refueling times and fuel consumption concluded with full clearance from FIA and ACO officials.

The ELMS season proved less fruitful; their LMP2 entry encountered gearbox troubles early on and managed only one podium amid driver errors and a crash-related withdrawal at Aragon. The LMP3 squad finished fourth overall with two second-place finishes but suffered several retirements due to mechanical failures. In their debut year in the Le Mans Cup, all three teams ranked last overall; only car #15 delivered consistent results while others failed to complete multiple races.

2024-: Maintaining a Leading Position

The 2024 season schedule included participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a single LMP2 vehicle, competing in the European Le Mans Series fielding two LMP2 cars alongside one LMP3, entering two LMP3 cars in the Le Mans Cup, and running one LMP2 entry in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Following the LMP2 category's exit from the FIA WEC, Le Mans stood as the team's only World Endurance Championship event. Additionally, Inter Europol took part in the Ligier European Series and Ultimate Cup utilizing Ligier prototypes.

In IMSA competition, Inter Europol collaborated with American outfit PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports to leverage their logistical support and regional expertise. PR1 managed day-to-day operations while technical staff from both organizations worked jointly. The driver lineup—selected by Inter Europol—featured American jeweler and team owner Nick Boulle, alongside Tom Dillmann and Jakub Śmiechowski. This partnership achieved the IMSA LMP2 title during their inaugural campaign, marked by a triumph at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, podium finishes at Watkins Glen and Indianapolis, and consistently strong results. Nick Boulle received an invitation to the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, opting to race with Inter Europol.

During the 92nd running of the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, drivers Śmiechowski, Vladislav Lomko, and Clement Novalak secured second place, narrowly missing out on a consecutive victory by just 18 seconds to United Autosports. Despite encountering a mid-race challenge when Novalak lost a front wheel necessitating repairs, the squad maintained a position within the top five throughout the closing stages.

In the 2024 ELMS campaign, Inter Europol claimed their maiden LMP2 class victory at Circuit Paul Ricard amid an intense contest but fell short of achieving a one-two finish towards the race's conclusion. This sole win, combined with steady performances—never finishing lower than seventh—resulted in a runner-up position in the overall championship standings. The #43 car driven by Dillmann, Lomko, and Sebastián Álvarez concluded the season in fourth place at Portimao amidst some penalty-related controversies. Meanwhile, the No. 34 Oreca piloted by Luca Ghiotto, Oliver Gray, and Novalak ended seventh overall with one podium appearance; their LMP3 entry faced difficulties throughout, finishing ninth overall despite securing a single podium.

Within the Le Mans Cup series, Alexander Bukhantsov and Rik Koen achieved an 11th-place finish overall including one podium result; their teammates Timothy Creswick, Sebastian Gravlund, and Daniel Ali ended up 19th in the standings.

For 2025, Inter Europol proceeded with a single LMP2 car (#43) in the IMSA SportsCar Championship operating independently from a newly established U.S. base. The team also entered two LMP3 vehicles in the Asian Le Mans Series while returning to compete again in both ELMS and Le Mans Cup events.

Thanks to official invites earned by Nick Boulle (recipient of the IMSA Jim Trueman Award) and for securing second place in the 2024 ELMS overall rankings, Inter Europol participated at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans. Drivers Śmiechowski, Dillmann, and newcomer Nick Yelloly delivered Inter Europol’s second victory and third podium appearance at this prestigious race. The #43 car led for most of the event, holding a slim advantage over Marc VDS Racing Team’s Panis Racing entry. Although a late pit-lane speeding penalty threatened their win chances, this was counterbalanced by a suspension failure on their closest competitor’s car. Yelloly crossed the finish line nearly two minutes ahead of rivals.
