Czech Janik with a new track record to victory in Lučine

GHD
Vaclav Janik and Federico Liber staged an excellent duel for many spectators in Lučine for a joint victory, while improving the record of the route from Todraž to Lučine three times. In the first run, a new record was set by Liber, who stopped the stopwatches at 2: 01.90. Janik was 0.8 seconds behind his time, and in the second run it was even closer between them, except that Janik set the fastest time. The Czech was seven hundredths of a second better than Liber's time, and the Italian drove half a second slower this time. In the decisive third run, the moody Janik drove even faster and set the measuring bar for 2: 01.30 for next season. His average speed was almost 119km / h, but because Liber drove 0.8 seconds slower this time, Janik celebrated the overall victory with a 0.53 second advantage

There are 80 drivers on tomorrow's race starting list. If in the first run the drivers flirted even more shyly with the track, in the second they were more confident and achieved faster results, and in the third the Swiss Ronnie Bratschi surpassed himself again, breaking his own (last year's) track record between touring vehicles. In the absolute competition, we will obviously see a fierce battle for victory between the Czech Vaclav Janik and the Italian Federico Liber tomorrow. Among the Slovenes, Vladimir Stankovič proved to be the best in the first and second training sessions, but resigned in the third. The hero of today's training is the Swiss Ronnie Bratschi, who already managed to break his (last year's set) track record. Last year he crossed the track with a time of 2: 13.55, and this year a few tenths faster, as he finished at the finish

Italian Federico Liber is the joint winner of two runs of the Gorjanci mountain speed race after the favorite, Tiziano Riva, resigned. With a total time of 3: 25.92, he celebrated the victory with just under three seconds of advantage over two Czechs, Vaclav Janik, and Peter Trnko, who was a second and a half more behind the winner. Among Slovenians, Vladimir Stankovič was expected to be the fastest in the overall standings, while Aleš Prek (Honda Type R) won the national championship, ahead of Matej Grudnik (Renault Twingo RS) and Peter Marco (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX). Andrej Prelc (Suzuki Swift) took the top step in the national championship of Division I, Aleš Žakelj (Zastava Yugo 65) won second place, and Janko Čebron (MG ZR 105) was third.

The Gorjanci race is synonymous with Slovenian mountain car racing, as it was first held at the end of the 60s. We can certainly expect a spectacle on the winding roads towards Gorjanci this year as well. The international mountain speed race Gorjanci starts on Friday, when it will be the turn of verifications and technical inspections from 12 noon, on Saturday it is the turn of three training rides starting at 11 am, and on Sunday it will really be at 10 am , when three races will determine the winner of GHD Gorjanci 2013.

The competition will be organized on the traditional route Težka Voda - Veliki Cerovec, in a total length of 4300 meters. Also this year, the authorities resurfaced the track with asphalt coating so that they will

  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. The fastest Slovenians were expected to be Marjan Smrdelj with Lola F3000, who was the seventh fastest among all competitors. It is in the total sum of the Slovenian DP with the total time

  The racers completed three training sessions in Lučine today before tomorrow's race. The trainings, where many racers drove their cars on the track towards Lučine for the first time in their careers, took place without any major peculiarities, but we saw some technical failures and mistakes of the racers. Among them, if not the biggest, probably the most expensive of all, the one done in the second training session by the Englishman David White, who crashed into a protective fence with his legendary Porsche Spyder Special and damaged the race car worth six hundred thousand. In all three training sessions, the order at the top did not change. Federico Liber was the fastest in all training sessions, while Vaclav Janik and Laszlo Szasz were second and third. Liber staged his fastest run in third practice when he did
