In 2020, Ziemian debuted in the Ferrari Challenge series, competing in three seasons and amassing a total of 229 points. While he has yet to claim a championship title, Ziemian’s performances have been nothing short of extraordinary.

The Polish driver launched his Ferrari Challenge career in 2020 and quickly established himself as one of the most thrilling drivers in the series. In his very first race at the Autodromo di Imola in 2020, he finished 5th in Race 1, earning his inaugural top 10 finish. Ziemian’s prowess behind the wheel of a Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO and Corso Pilota continued to flourish.

Although he hasn’t yet clinched a title, his best season came in 2022 when he competed in the Coppa Shell Europe, earning a total of 128 points. It was a standout year for the Polish driver, who notched 11 podium finishes and boasted an impressive win percentage of 22.73%.

FAQ

I competed against other cars in semi-professional categories for an extended period.

I would have cherished the opportunity to race in Abu Dhabi. Since I spend parts of the year in Dubai, it would have felt like racing at home. As for the track that I’ve enjoyed the most, I’d have to say Mugello for now. I did experience some damage on the Italian circuit, but I still found it enjoyable.

I have a deep appreciation for classical music. I studied at a conservatory, and many of my friends have become musicians or composers. I particularly love the violin. However, I must confess that I also enjoy listening to a substantial amount of rock and pop music.
