Nikodem  Wiśniewski

On Track Summary

Wisniewski entered Prodigy Week with the confidence of having competed in six sports car races in Poland. While he wasn’t as fast as he expected on his first day in the SR1, this experience helped shift his mindset, allowing him to better absorb coaching feedback. The following day, with the pressure at its peak, Wisniewski stepped up, delivering laps in the high 1:25 range. Paired with Thomas Bellemin in Group 4, Wisniewski entered the LCQs as a favorite to advance to the Chases. Although he didn’t perform to his full potential in the final session, it's anticipated that with more seat time against top competition, Wisniewski’s focus—and on-track results—will improve.

Off-Track Summary

An accomplished sim racer with strong proficiency in analyzing data and video, Wisniewski initially worked more independently than others. However, once he started engaging with his coach and asking questions to further improve, the team dynamic noticeably strengthened. Wisniewski holds significant potential, along with a contract with G2 Esports, and was ultimately selected second overall by the team.

Bio

From Mieroszow, a small town in Poland near the Czech Republic border, Wisniewski graduated from the Physical Education Academy in Wroclaw, one of the best PE universities in Poland, with the aim of working in the sports industry, particularly in football (soccer). I've been a sim racer since 2011, always considering it my hobby. After a successful debut on the international scene around 2015, I pushed even harder, which led to signing a pro contract with Williams Esports in 2018. During my five years with the team, I achieved significant milestones, including winning the Virtual Le Mans 2022, finishing as runner-up in the LMVS 2023, securing victories in the V-10R League, and achieving 3rd place in ESL R1. Recently, I signed a two-year contract with G2 Esports.
