Grega Premrl concluded the season with the podium in the ERT3 championship

Grega Premrl finished the 2016 season in the north of Austria. This was Grego's first macadam rally in his career, and consequently the most difficult due to lack of experience. Third place in the FIA ERT3 Cup therefore completely satisfied Grego. Less, however, are the individual times achieved. These were also the result of a minor accident that happened to him before the rally, due to which the car was not completely optimally prepared. Grega emphasized the fact that success is the timely preparation of the car, for which a big thank you goes to the mechanics of the Unikatoy team. Unfortunately, the rally was also marked by two mistakes that took quite valuable time. Bigger mistake on superspec

At the 5th Petrol Rally Nova Gorica, we are promised excellent competition between two-wheel drive racing cars. In the R2 class alone, eight cars are registered, and in the R3 class, nine cars. Well-known drivers as well as cars at the start. We have already written about the favorites among two-wheel drive cars, which are mainly Aleks Humar (renault clio R3T) and Rok Turk (peugeot 208 R2). In this competition, the performance of the Austrian rally legend Willie Steng with the Opel Adam R2 will be interesting. This will be the first appearance of this Opel car at Slovenian rallies, and Stengg, as a two-time winner of the Saturnus rally in the overall standings, will be reminiscent of the excellent Ford Escort rides of the 3s. Among Slovenes, Grega Premrl (Citroen DS3 RXNUMXT) also has high ambitions in the class of two-wheel drive cars.

Premrl and Brešer saved the best for the end

Rally

The Slovenian National Rally Championship ended with the 9th Idrija Rally, which took place on Friday and Saturday, 16 and 17 October. Even before the start of the rally, it was known that Grega was getting faster and more constant, and in addition, Gregor Brešer also returned to the passenger seat, with whom he is already well established. On Friday, there were two speed trials, 2,13 km long, in which Grega had some bad luck. Grega and Gregor drove the first HP relatively well, and on the second HP they hit hard in the middle with the front left wheel and therefore continued to the finish line a bit slower. Fortunately, the blow did not leave any serious consequences, so they could already look forward to Saturday, which decided the final winner.
