Evening trips to the races were slowly becoming everyday life for Majka and Hanka. This time Piwonska could not borrow a car, but getting on the route was not a problem for the girls. Bartek came for them.
The last race has just ended. All three were about to start gathering back. When Majka announced:
"I will be racing next Friday."
The boy couldn't stand it and burst out laughing.
"Did I hear you right? Do you want to race? Hahaha...."
He didn't stop until Hanka nudged him sideways. Piwonska was deadly serious.
"It may seem ridiculous to you now, but I think I would be able to beat you or someone close to your driving skills. I also know that Ibiza does not look impressive compared to the tuned carts chased by the racers, but under its hood there is a pretty good engine."
" I'm not racing. I mean, I tried my strength, but I realized that I was useless. Maybe you also have to find out
for yourself." He sighed. " I will help you find a rival and take you to the race." For these words he got a kiss on the cheek from his girlfriend." Do not count, however, that you will win the first time. And above all, arrange a car and ride a few times along the royal route.

This day has come. Finally, Majka could test her abilities behind the wheel of Ibiza. Bartek helped her complete all formalities and advised her on the choice of opponent. It was Wojciech Błażejewski, the driver of white Clio. He wasn't somehow gifted driver, he had more or less equal wins and losses. It was his second season.
They moved! Majka leaned forward on the first straight, but slowed down a moment later. Just before entering the corner. Her opponent took advantage of this and overtook him on the inside. The girl cursed. She took a deep breath and warned herself that the route was closed, so nobody had the right to leave it suddenly.
She managed to make up for lost time quickly. She was just behind Blazejewski on the long straight.
The boy every now and then looked in the mirrors to see from which side Piwonska would attack him. Meanwhile, Majka didn't even intend to attack him on a straight line. Since she was overtaken in the bend, she also wants to overtake her rival there.
A sharp turn with limited visibility. The one she hated and was most afraid of. However, that evening no one was allowed to go opposite. This is where he must attack!
Clio driver after a short observation of Majka decided that the girl would not attack here. Against all previous bends she entered more slowly than he did. It won't risk it, it's so dangerous. What more wrong!
Overtaking just before entering the corner! She pushed in front of him! The boy had to brake hard to not hit her.
"Crash!" He shouted.
Ibiza hurried forward. During the next two turns the girl increased her advantage. On a short straight, Clio approached Seat. However, at the sharpest corner Renault was left behind again. Błażejewski stared at the meter in disbelief.
"How the hell?!" He remembered the beginning of the race and the first turns. So how? Was it really one and the same driver?
Majka crossed the finish line as the first. Everyone then looked at the road where Clio showed up around the bend.
The girl was in a slight jump. She wanted to win. And she hoped to win. But she did not think that she would manage to beat someone with such a big advantage. She didn't even get out of the car, she simply went home. From this excitement she even forgot about Hanka, with whom she came to the race.
