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
