Škoda’s role as the exclusive sponsor reflects a shared commitment to mobility, resilience, and pushing boundaries.

“This project is deeply personal for me,” said George Kouzis. “EuroTrip 2025 is not just a series of races. It’s about living fully — accepting the uncertainty, trusting the journey, and challenging myself to grow beyond the finish line. I’m grateful to Škoda for believing in this vision and making it possible.”

Throughout EuroTrip 2025, George will represent not only his sponsor, but also a spirit of adventure that speaks to anyone chasing excellence, movement, and meaning on two wheels.
