During his high school and studies time, Zakopane became his second home. When he began racing and decided to participate in the legendary Dakar Rally, the race has just moved to South America and took him from Argentina to Chile through high passes in the Andes.<\/p>\n<p>However, Rafa\u0142 Sonik did not talk in Szczyrk about the views and experiences from the South American mountains. He talked about his passion that motivated him on the way to the top. The sports top, that is his 2015 win. He talked about the first small successes, the failures that he learned from \u2013 which was hard but valuable, and about fighting in court, for the honour of a fair racer.<\/p>\n<p>He ended his one-hour-long presentation accompanied by films and photographs on a strong and important note. \u2018They ask you, why do you climb mountains? And you answer \u2013 because they exist! When people ask me why I continue to race, I respond that I race to hear the sound of the white&amp;red flag waiving over my head and to raise my arm in triumph, the arm with the emblem of an eagle and the crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next to off-road racing, the mountains and skiing are the greatest passions of Rafa\u0142 Sonik.
