Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus won the Saturnus rally

Rally
Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus managed to defend last year's victory at the Saturnus Rally, although they were not among the main favorites due to the brand new car with only one pair of wheels. But the daring ride and some resin of the rivals was enough for an outstanding result. After a lot of problems, Alexander Saliuk and Yevgeny Chervonenko climbed to second place, and Hermann Gassner and Karin Thannhauser were third. However, as the Germans competed with the old type of tires, they were replaced by Jani Trček and Vili Ošlaj in the official FIA European Cup classification.

After an exciting first day of Saturn, Gassner leads

After an exciting first day of Saturn, Gassner leads

Rally
  Hermann Gassner is the leader at the Saturnus Rally, the first day of which was spiced up by harsh weather conditions that provided some unexpected results, which were partly boiled down by tires prescribed by the FIA ​​for four-wheel drive cars. The first part of Saturnus took place on a completely wet and also muddy route. The first surprise with the Renault Clio R3 in the morning was provided by Aleks Humar, who swung to the very top. Rok Turk also surprised with a Peugeot 208 R2. The reason for the surprise, however, is probably to be found in the fact that two-wheel-drive race cars can compete on classic tires, giving them an advantage over four-wheel-drive ones. The tires prescribed for them by the FIA ​​simply do not offer the right grip, which was experienced in Janče by Darko Peljhan, who spun there and lost time.
