The national rally champions Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus returned to the fight for the new crown of the best Slovenian rally crew with the victory at the third test of the national rally championship. In Železniki, they led from the start to the finish and celebrated with an advantage of 46 seconds.
The rally in Železniki was marked by very high temperatures and a varied rally route, which had nine speed trials with a total length of 95 kilometers. The rally was considered a national championship point for the first time and has already proved to be an otherwise short but demanding race. National champions Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus competed at the rally motivated to cancel the resignation at the introductory rally of the season in Maribor with an excellent result and return to the fight for the title of national champion. Their plan was a complete success, as they were strengthened with good results in the last period and shorter gear ratios in the gearbox, and they took the lead in the first speed test. Although they were slightly hampered by the slower car in front of them, they achieved the best time and did not let go of the lead until the finish. There they had a 46,3 second lead.
"I am definitely satisfied with the rally, I also enjoyed the route. This one offered us almost all the elements of a rally. In some places it was fast, in others more twisted and slower. There were both slopes as well as challenging sections downhill. The organizers used bricks along the road to prevent cutting corners, so there was very little sand on the road, and the road will be the same as before the rally tomorrow. I am also pleased with my performance. We are still learning, learning about the new nature of the race car and progressing from kilometer to kilometer. There were no drastic changes at this rally, "said Humar after the first victory of this season, who won seven of the nine speed trials.
As the temperatures at the rally were well above 30 degrees Celsius all the time, Humar and Rus also took time to visit Petrol's petrol station in Železniki during the break during the rally and had ice cream there.
