Janusz Kulig

Janusz Kulig (19 October 1969 in Łapanów near Kraków – 13 February 2004 in Rzezawa near Bochnia, Poland) was a Polish rally driver.

He started his career behind the wheel of a Polski Fiat 126p and during his early years in rally he also drove a Toyota Corolla, an Opel Kadett, and a Renault Clio.

Kulig spent the 2002 and 2003 seasons competing in the European Rally Championship (2nd place in 2002) and occasional WRC events.

His biggest success in WRC was 1st place in PCWRC in Sweden 2003 but after the rally he was stripped of his glory by FIA due to illegal modifications in his Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII (the flywheel had different streak than the one approved by FIA).

Kulig died in an accident after his car (Fiat Stilo) collided with a train on a level crossing.
