Adam “Szpaku325” Szpański with a dedication to Forza… that is clowning around the Nordschleife

I am not capable of driving the lap in just 8 minutes and 1.5 seconds of Nordschleife 24H in the ACC. I don’t have a channel on Twitch. tv with 887 followers, or a personal blog in the form of an Instagram with an annotation about being 197 cm tall, playing volleyball, riding motocross, and having a pilot’s license. I hide in the shadows, avoid confrontation, and use one-way communication via Forza. My name isn’t David, but instead, I feel like I’m trying to jump up to Goliath. I don’t want to offend anyone or step on anyone’s toes. And yet, despite my inner dissonance, I’ve decided to publish this post… which, probably, will not be perceived in the way I could dream of. And I’ll make enemies, in front of whom I’ll still be standing with open hands instead of keeping my guard up.

This is my response to the provocation – because what else would you call it? Mentioning now and then of “crashing on purpose”, “an agent who managed to spin me”, and a special dedication to ForzaSpinall at the end of the interview? I want to – more or less constructively – address the accusations, and point out few things. Or even give a poke in the nose to the (exaggeratedly named) propaganda tube, harming my and Forza’s good name. A tube named … szpaku325.

Immediately after the incident, I was judged by a bloodthirsty pack of “young wolves”. The social pack of mutual adoration, in total detachment from reality. The pack in question has pronounced the accident as intentional from my side, worthy of condemnation and revenge. The simracing intellectuals concluded that I drove as if I held a grudge to Szpański, and such behavior on the track proves that I have complexes.

And all I’ve done was to adjust my racing line to the situation on the circuit, within the limits of the regulations. I even left my rival a little bit more space than I was obliged to – after all, the curb is part of the track, and Szpaku had more space than the width of his entire car, counting the space from the white line, to the right edge of the Lambo with a Tricolore livery. That was enough for Szpaku’s chat to create my complete psychological profile. The chat didn’t disappoint – the view from one perspective topped off with an extremely witty comment from the “Chief”, was enough to conclude that the “simracing bastard” “drove him [Szpaku325] off the track”! The statement, “On Dix’s stream it looked like you hit him,” was lost in the abyss of other messages, filled with venom and pure hatred.

I would like to take this opportunity to make Szpaku’s fans aware that every human being – without the slightest exception – makes mistakes. It lies in our human nature. And every incident should be judged only after checking multiple perspectives. An eloquent gentleman named Adam said during his stream:

“This Guy” pushed me off the track in a corner, and then he hit me intentionally. […] Yeah, because he, you know there… yyyy, I was turning left, because the racing line goes left, and he knew that I will be turning because this is how you usually drive, so he drove straight to the corner, he didn’t widen the curve like he does every single time.

Don’t be like Adam… In an ideal world, the Nissan driver wouldn’t drive as if he were alone on the track, but with respect to the Lamborghini driving side by side. That’s it! And if the Lamborghini driver would be better, then he would leave even less space on the inside – just the width of the car, and not a centimeter more. This is what track driving is all about – we try to force a rival to make a mistake or make it difficult for him to carry maximum speed into a corner. We are marking attacks, cover the inside or… as in this situation – make the rival pay the price for going wide by not opening the door, and not inviting to pick up the free overtake but instead putting the opponent in a tough situation. The red carpet was not rolled out this time… And “The Guy” (Lucjan) did not know you were going to turn, “because that’s how you normally drive.” The previous statement should be responded with “word”: xd.

Here you can see what was happening milliseconds before the collision. I don’t think it needs any commentary… the screenshot shows the essence of the situation:

Referring to the words of “The Chief”, ‘the Guy” “normally does it every time” – agree, but while being completely alone on the track. And when competing on the track wheel-to-wheel, he tries to make it as difficult as possible for his opponent, respecting fair-play competition in the spirit of the rules… Łukasz Kapera found out the hard way – although, as some people claim, Lucjan “did it” (what you can see on the screenshot below) out of pure hatred, envy, trying to cure his complexes, as well as for the sake of the past, and a straightforwardly declared open war on rubber razor blades. It was a close one, but somehow Mr. Aston managed to handle the situation, while supposedly the intention of the Lamborghini driver was to kill him, push him off the track, and spin him. And it wouldn’t help if he said: “dude, you were the one who drove into me”. Because this is not what happened:

Adam Szpanski – in my humble opinion – should add to his Instagram “bio” information about the mental gymnastics he can perform with the approval of the chanting crowd, waving badges with the number “10” above their heads, representing the rating of the stunts performed flawlessly. He proved that during his stream, saying those words:

Gentelmen, what is intolerable…? being a dick. […]

After what I’m about to do, it is unlikely I will be allowed to drive in this league anymore. […]

Those guys have a fukicng aversion… to me. They feel offended, and I didn’t know that to such an extent. […]

After all, they even had a ban in the RoS league. […]

You know Jagutku, I was taught to exterminate rudeness with rudeness – I never did anything to them, that’s the truth, I have always been very positive towards them, and they suddenly tripped out. […]

Cool, boys will not be able to participate in the polish leages anymore. […]

He deserved that, before he took me out on purpose, and now he did the same thing, he squeezed me on purpose, that’s a dickhead team, they hate me for no reason. […]

I didn’t really want to kill him, but yeah… what reason that I left the team? Because this is like my previous, previous team, from years ago, and now they hate me because I left them.

Krótka lekcja historii…

The ban for one, single race for the incident on track was handed to Mateusz Książek in the RoS league, that’s all. And in terms of “very positive attitude”, this is another “self-commentary” material. It only proves the vicious attitude of Adam:

Adam Szpański said in the video above:

I will report him. I am glad he blocked me. I am very happy. I won’t lose anything, and he will gain some [negative] points.

What is the source of this very positive attitude? I do not know, but I can guess. I guess that it all started with a discussion about the BoP before the Dix race at the Indianapolis track, in which Paweł Jarzębowski, one of our drivers, participated very eagerly. I read my teammate’s statements and they did not fill me with pride. I did not like taking a position that I interpreted as: “look at me, I care the least about racing, and decisions that will be made regarding the BoP, but I will speak the loudest, and throw smiley emoticons in every single message”. I would like to point out that every single person from ForzaItalia.pl eRacing, participating in any discussion on Discord, spoke up for themselves. It is no different with Xanax, who has also made his presence known on Dix’s Discord on several occasions.

Last season of the Dix league I drove only a single race in the middle of the season at the Red Bull Ring. Adam Szpaku Szpański, having a very positive attitude towards me, and the whole team, decided to watch the replay, analyzing behavior at the pit entry, and whether track limits were respected. Even though quite half of the grid broke the rules, only three people were reported. All of them had one thing in common. They represented ForzaItalia.pl eRacing. The one who was responsible for those reports was no other than Adam Szpaku Szpański with an enthusiastic attitude towards Forza. I was also reported – naive and stupid, who thought we had a pure, blank page. And it turned out that the range of sympathy has also embraced me.

Is it a hawk (Jastrząb) or a starling (Szpak)? No, it’s hideous manipulation and presenting pseudo-facts in a curved mirror. That’s how Adam Szpanski shows his very positive attitude. However, on my behalf – and all of Forza – I would say thank you for your dedication during the interview. I will not remain in debt – I come in return with this glorious text, praising both Adam Szpanski and his faithful community. I would still appreciate your explanation of what the text was about:

Cool, boys will not be able to participate in the polish leages anymore.

Adam wspomniał o incydencie z Kogutem:

Próchnica from ForzaItalia, Kogut already tried to kill me before, but Próchnica was the one who successfully killed me, Kogut is also from ForzaItalia.

Podczas wywiadu również do tego nawiązał:

There were two guys on the track who tried to kill me on purpose, and one of them successfully spun me, so it’s nice that after all, I managed to win.

The murder attempt performed by Kogut looked just like this:

 

In my humble opinion, it was a joint conspiracy of the great German minds that are managing the Nurburgring track and Kogut. How else would you explain the fact that just before T1 the track slightly curves to the right…. And that’s probably why Kogut did the slight wheel correction. Strangely, you didn’t say a word about the intentional murder attempt just after it happened, during your stream. The thesis was born a little later – right after you hit me. Solely through your fault.

I would like to mention the value that Adam Szpanski brought to the ForzaItalia.pl eRacing, once he joined the team. We were focused primarily on endurance racing, with driver changes, and we never had a chance to do a single swap with Adam. Nevertheless, it was fun to drive together, train, share setups, and manage the simracing stance during the ForzaItalia.pl event. It seemed to all of us (on the Forza side) that we split up on good terms – just as we once did with Łukaszek. Adam remained on Forza’s closed Discord server until he decided to leave by himself. Nonetheless, it is sad that such a thing has a further continuation. I guess I’m not so much referring to this text but to the statements made during the stream…. and all the hatred toward Forza. In my opinion, you made a fool of yourself on your stream – but probably this text, published on scuderia.forzaitalia.pl will remain a great reason for the so-called laughs. And probably it will further fuel the spiral of hatred, although it seems to me more one-sided.

It is worth mentioning our second direct meeting on the circuit. Thanks to you, I was able to finish the two-hour race after driving a mere 55 minutes:

Did you finally do it…? You know, I mean this: “After doing this, unlikely I will be allowed to drive in this league anymore.” Was it a worthy attempt, or maybe not, and do you plan to improve yourself regarding that matter? 🙂

Did the fans create the artist, or did the artist create himself? 🙂

Okay, the Forza promotion is over, it’s time to promote Szpaku325. Subscribe, like, share – but before that, watch the stream:

The text was written by me, Lucjan Próchnica. This is my own position, not that of the whole team. Below you can watch the key parts, translated from Polish to English, and vice versa:
