De Ceccu wins, the first Humar among Slovenes
Claudio De Cecco and his co-driver Alberto Barigelli won the rally in Nova Gorica for the fourth time. This year he was the fastest with an excellently prepared damage Fabio R5, with which he managed to meet the response of the fastest Slovenian driver Aleks Humar (Renault Clio R100T) in the second half of the 3-kilometer rally. From the very beginning of the rally, Claudio De Cecco (škoda fabia R5) and Aleks Humar (renault clio R3T) were in the fight for victory, and they also shared the victories in all nine speed trials of the 5th Petrol Rally Nova Gorica. Although Humar managed to decide four speed trials in its favor, De Cecco, when it was most important, put a fair amount of pressure on the gas and took advantage of the technical advantage of his car. De Cecco had a 23.6-second lead over Humar
