Marquez crowned the perfect weekend with another victory

MotoGP News

Marc Marquez is the winner of the Inidanapolis Grand Prix. The Spaniard lost two places at the start, but soon made up for them during the race and led to the finish line with more than a three-second advantage over his teammate at Repsol Honda, Dani Pedrosa, and Jorge Lorenzo at Yamaha. Fourth was Italian Valentino Rossi, who managed to overtake Cal Crutchlow and Alvaro Baoutisto in the last laps, who finished the race in fifth and sixth place, respectively. Stefan Bradl was seventh, and Ben Smith was happy to take eighth place in the last corner as a gift from Ducati racers Nicky Hayden and Andrea Doviziosa, who got involved in a duel and drove off the track in the last corner.

Race to Gorjanci then and today

GHD

(Source: www.ghd-gorjanci.si) The first car mountain race in Slovenia was in Gorjanci in 1969. Today it is returning to the path of former glory. The mountain speed car race on Gorjanci is actually the cradle of this branch of motor sport on Slovenian roads. It was first organized in 1969, when the track was 6,8 km long, and was supported by the domestic car company IMV. Two years later, when the course was shortened by 400 m, it was already on the calendar of the first national mountain championship in the former Yugoslavia. It was last held in 1972, and a year later road racing was banned in Slovenia due to the tragic events in Kamnik and Škofja Loka. And the race to Gorjanci disappeared from the scene for many years. It was revived in the early XNUMXs, back then

GHD

The mountain speed race in Lučine ended prematurely. In the third run, full of interruptions, Istvan Kavecz and his BMW damaged the guardrail so badly that it could not be repaired to such an extent that the last run could be carried out safely until the end. This was canceled and the results after the second run took effect. This year's victory in Lučine goes to the Italian Federico Liber with the Gloria C8F formula, who beat the Czech Vaclav Janik by a good two seconds. The third was Laszlo Szazs. The Hungarian, who played for the Croatian club here, was two seconds behind the winner.

Sprint rally Nova Gorica this year with an even stronger team

Rally

After last year's baptismal performance of the sprint rally Nova Gorica on the Banjska plateau and its great success at home and abroad, the organizers are determined to improve the competition this year, which will otherwise remain in the same format. The rally will be the same length and HP will not be changed, nor will the service area, but they are determined to hone those little things that they noticed themselves, and the others may have overlooked. The rally will have its second performance on Saturday, September 21, 2013. The short-format rally, which is very popular especially with our western neighbors, is becoming more and more appreciated in Slovenia as well. Mainly because it allows the entire program to be carried out in one day, which is an advantage for the vast majority of crews in both financial and logistical terms. The route on the Banjška plateau is varied and te

Humar for the second time in a row

Rally

Aleks Humar successfully kept Darko Peljhan behind him at the Velenje Rally, winning by 1,4 seconds. The fight for the winner ended only in the last kilometers, as Darko Peljhan almost completely nullified the advantage of Humar in the afternoon, but he overtook Peljhan by almost half a second on the last HP and secured the victory. Third was Hermann Gassner, who was 2,9 seconds behind Humar. In the last part of the test, Jani Trček and Rajko Žakelj had some bad luck with a punctured tire, so that the third place among Slovenian racers went to Rok Turk, who was fifth in the overall classification. Asja Zupanc broke through among the top ten in Velenje, followed by Rajko Žakelj, Aljoša Novak and Aleš Zrinski. Luka Kos had to give up the victory in Division One due to technical problems
