Rafał Sonik made his debut in 2009 and this historic quad is going to be auctioned off in our charitable auction in aid of 25th Grand Finale fundraiser. In January, just as the entire country (and a fair share of countries across the world) will be gearing up to hold the fundraiser, Sonik is going to be racing across the sandy and rocky terrains of southern America for the ninth time. The sportsman's helmet has been adorned with the little heart sticker - the symbol of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity and he has always held the ideas behind the fundraiser very close to heart.
I make sure to represent the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity at Dakar and at world championships. I take the little sticker on my helmet and the idea of helping others in my heart to each race I participate in. We held our small fundraisers at our campsites and we always try to donate something interesting in aid of GOCC auctions. This time I decided to go big and chose the quad. It's my first machine from Dakar, and that's why it's so special! Sonik says.
