Finn Kimi Raikkonen said he would like to one day compete in the World Relic Cross Championships, a series that has recently seen a jump in ratings and thus attracted big names such as Peter Solberg, Mattias Ekstrom and Jacques Villeneuve.

It's very similar to a rally, except you race against other racers on the track, not a stopwatch," said Raikkonen, who also competed in the WRC World Rally Championship between 2010 and 2011. “I really enjoyed the rally, which is very strenuous and a big challenge,” added the Finn, who said on his return to Formula One that he missed a very direct duel with the rivals on the track in the rally. “I think it’s right to try as many different things as possible in life, because that’s how you have fun and learn a lot at the same time.

Some time ago we reported that autocross is finally returning to Slovenia. Now we also know the calendar of races that will be considered the Slovenian national championship, but only these will be run on Croatian soil, together with the Croatian championship, as we do not yet have a suitable autocross track. The Slovenian Motorsport Association AŠ2005 warns that calendar additions are still possible, which leaves the door open for Slovenian organizers as well. AŠ2005 collects registrations of associations and drivers until March 5, and despite the published calendar, the autocross season is still not fully guaranteed, because in case there is not enough interest by the application deadline, the championship will not be held (Lack of interest of racers was also the main the reason that the autocross championship has not been held in our country so far).
