Jakub "Kuba" Śmiechowski (born 11 October 1991) is a racing driver from Poland and the LMP2 class winner of the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.

[1][2] After competing in karting, Śmiechowski made his single-seater debut with Kochanski Motorsport in the Italian Formula Renault series in 2009, partaking in three race meetings.

[5][6] During the latter year, Śmiechowski also took part in the Remus Formula Renault 2.0 Cup, where he won the title by taking victory in all six races he participated in.

[16] They had a breakthrough in terms of accolades, with the team's first win in the category coming at the season-ending Portimão round, which, along with a podium at the Red Bull Ring, propelled the pair up to second place in LMP3.

At Le Mans, Śmiechowski, Nigel Moore, and James Winslow battled past technical gremlins with their Ligier JS P217 to finish 16th in the LMP2 class.

[26][27][28][29] Ahead of 2021, Inter Europol made a permanent move to the FIA World Endurance Championship, fielding one Oreca 07 with Śmiechowski, Cadillac factory driver Renger van der Zande, and Alex Brundle in the lineup.

[30] The team experienced a consistent opening season, finishing all but one race in the top five, which included fourth at Monza and fifth at Le Mans.

[34] A sophomore slump befell the outfit, as the car experienced electrical problems and a damaged clutch at Sebring and Brundle crashed in the wet at Spa.

[39] However, the ultimate triumph came at Le Mans, as Inter Europol were able to take victory despite a foot injury for Scherer and radio issues during the final stages, with Śmiechowski being on pace with the majority of other silver-ranked drivers.
