Karting (2018–2025)
Kaczynski began karting in 2018. Starting in micro karts, Kaczynski most notably won the Raket Cup Sweden, the Sydsvenskans Kart Champion Cup and the Kristianstad KK Grande Finale in 2019. Kaczynski then moved up to mini karts, winning the Swedish title in 2020, before finishing runner-up the following year and third in the Sydsvenskans Kart Cup. In parallel, Kaczynski joined Ward Racing for his first full-season in international competitions, winning the Trofeo Delle Industrie and finishing sixth in the WSK Final Cup.
Stepping up to junior karts in 2022, Kaczynski most notably finished ninth in the WSK Open Cup and fourth in the Trofeo Delle Industrie. Staying in the category for 2023, Kaczynski most notably finished second in the South Garda Winter Cup, as well as taking 10th in the Karting European Championship standings. Moving up to senior karts for the following year, Kaczynski had a largely quiet year, in which he most notably finished third in the Swedish Kart Championship. Kaczynski had another quiet season in his final year of karting in 2025, during which he was most notably was disqualified from the final fined 15,000 Swedish kronor in the Swedish Kart Championship after ignoring a black flag.
Formula 4 (2026)
In late 2025, Kaczynski participated in the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy shootout as one of six finalists for a fully-funded seat in the 2026 F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport. After missing out on the seat, Kaczynski joined Drivex–run DXR to make his single-seater debut in the Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship. In the three-round season, Kaczynski scored his only points at Aragón, by finishing seventh in race one and eighth in the sprint. Continuing in the team for the main Spanish F4 season, Kaczynski began the season with a fifth-place finish at Valencia, before returning to the points two rounds later at Aragón by taking seventh in race three.
