While the five-time national champion Katja Pivk from Žirov, who has won practically everything that could be won in karting in recent years, said goodbye to the karting tracks at least temporarily, the representatives of the fairer sex already have two new irons in the fire, the promising racer Neli Štrahjar and Tajo Petkovšek Škrlj. After her father Boštjan inspired her to go karting, Taja Petkovšek Škrlj started her sports career in 2015 with the help of Domn and Francij Jerančič, from whom she also bought her first Lotus Micro Max go-kart. Two seasons later, she tested herself in the Rotax Mini max class, where she won third place, and she was also third in the Sportstil Cup abroad.

WRC legend Sebastien Loeb will be tested in the DTM series

DTM, WRC

Nine-time world rally champion Sebastien Loeb will take part in the German DTM Championship race for the first time this month, where he will represent the Red Bull AlphaTauri team behind the wheel of a Ferrari 488GT3. Loeb will replace New Zealander Nick Cassidy in the opening race of the championship in Portimau, Portugal, with Felipe Fraga, who will not take part in the Formula E race, but because Cassidy is likely to miss the Norisring and Spa Francorchamps, Loeba could seen several times. “Throughout my career, I’ve been looking forward to changing categories,” Loeb said. "DTM is a very well-known championship and I was offered the opportunity to compete in it, so of course I took advantage of it. The challenge is big, because it's a completely different style of driving." Sebastien Loeb tested the Ferrari race a few days ago

Valentino Rossi is also welcome in the DTM series

DTM, MotoGP News

According to DTM Race Director Frederic Elsner, Valentino Rossi is very welcome, although the German Championship this year has limited the performances of visiting racers, due to the packed starting lineup. “If he wants, he’s more than welcome,” Elsner said. "A racer of his caliber would certainly be allowed to perform, for example in Imola." Rossi flirted with a one-off performance in the DTM race back in 2019, when MotoGP competitor Andrea Dovizioso decided to make the move. But there was no clash between the Italians on four wheels, and Rossi promised the head of the DTM series, Gerhard Berger, that he would take part in the race in the near future. After finishing his career as a MotoGP racer, Rossi moved into the world of car racing and the DTM series is said to be one of the options flirted with the nine-time world

After a few breaks, I took part in the race myself, but due to the lack of training, I chose the Renault Megane Trophy '11, which I had already ridden in the season. The decision may not have been the best, as the race car is on the plane

E-Sports: 4th GTSS9 2021 Championship Race - Brands Hatch - Live

esport, Other sports

The fourth race of this year's GTSS18 championship season will take place today at 9 p.m. It is a championship that takes place on the popular Gran Turismo Sport racing simulation, and the racers will ride on the famous Brands Hatch track today. Today, there are two races on the schedule, namely the Rookie and Amateur classes, in the latter I also compete alone. For me, this will be the fourth race in any championship at all, and in the previous three I have found that even beginners and amateurs in both classes are extremely fast. Until the start of the race, we have a choice of one of two race cars, namely the Aston Martin DBR9 or Jaguar F-Type Gr.3. Considering the trainings, I expect a tense race in the foreground, where I will probably not tailor the outcome myself, as I am missing quite a few (seconds per lap) to the best in the class. But every lap and every race brings
