The "Vilduja" historic car rally, which took place last weekend across Elektrėnai and Kačerginė, was not only a massive celebration of automotive heritage for our company but also a moment of immense pride. We strongly believe that the best leaders inspire by example—and that is exactly what our CEO, Tadas Vitkevičius, demonstrated on the race track!
Over 40 of the country’s top crews competed on a challenging 200-kilometer route packed with slalom events and regularity tests. The track demanded absolute concentration, pushing even seasoned veterans of the prestigious "Monte-Carlo Historique" rally to their absolute limits.
🏆 "Vilduja Racing" Triumph & Key Highlights
Gold in the "Oldtimer" Class & 2nd Place Overall: Drawing from his extensive "Monte-Carlo Historique" experience, our CEO Tadas Vitkevičius teamed up with a new co-driver, Justas Lengvinas, this year. Driving the elegant Saab 96 V4, this freshly formed "Vilduja Racing" duo captured 1st place in their class and finished as vice-champions overall!
"Youngtimer" Class: Linas and Evelina Žvinakevičiai secured their fourth consecutive overall victory in a VW Golf.
"Tourist" Class: First place was confidently taken by Linas and Milda Barščevičiai in the iconic "Beetle" (VW 1300).
💼 Business Lessons from the Track to Vilduja's Operations
As Tadas Vitkevičius noted after the finish line, victory is determined not just by speed, but by the ability to communicate efficiently under pressure. These track lessons mirror the core corporate values we maintain at Vilduja:
Rapid Adaptation & Alignment. This was Tadas and Justas's very first rally together. In business, just like in motorsport, the ability to instantly find common ground and build trust with new partners determines the success of high-stakes projects.
Maximizing Internal Processing Power. Navigating complex regularity stages requires driver and co-driver to utilize 100% of their strategic capacities. Maintaining a cool head and analytical thinking under pressure is what drives our company forward.
Fostering Community and Culture. For Vilduja, it's not just about business metrics—it's about supporting a premium culture, preserving heritage, and strengthening the community around us.
We are incredibly proud of Tadas and the entire "Vilduja Racing" team! We continue to move forward, driven by precision, professionalism, and a relentless passion for excellence. 🚀
🏁 Leadership on the Track and in Business!
