Aleks Humar in the new season with Renault Clio R3T

National rally champion Aleks Humar will compete this season with a brand new Renault Clio R3T. The assembly of the car, which, unlike its predecessor, is characterized by a 1,6-liter turbocharged engine, is coming to an end after almost 150 hours. Humar and his co-driver Florjan Rus are expected to start the season at the San Remo Rally in Italy. Aleks Humar received all the components for the new Renault Clio R3T on January 10, on his birthday. Since then, he has spent a lot of time in his workshop in Slap na Idrijci, as he had to sort hundreds of parts and start assembling them into a final whole. From January 9 to February 9 alone, the assembly of the new fast car took Humar 135 working hours. Humar says the work goes without major complications and that the instructions from R

Humar celebrated its sixth victory in Idrija

Rally

The national rally champion Aleks Humar also won the domestic rally in Idrija, the penultimate test of this year's national championship, and thus confirmed the title of national rally champion in the best possible way with his co-driver Florjan Rus. "I'm happy with the new victory, thank you to all the fans on the track. It's nice to race in my hometown and such a victory is especially sweet. Everything went well in the future, so we were able to rejoice in our successful end to the season, "said Humar after the rally. The Idrija Rally was one of the shortest in this year's national championship, but seven speed trials with a total length of 77 kilometers were still full of turns, pitfalls and

Humar’s victories begin in a home workshop

Rally

The national rally champion Aleks Humar is also his own master. In a small workshop at Slap ob Idrijci, just a shot from his power plant, he assembled a racing Renault Clio R3 last year, and before the national championship rallies he prepared it for new uncompromising turns. "Every victory starts in a home workshop," says an experienced racer from Idrija. There is almost no time for repairs on the race car at the rally venue. If the race car was not seriously damaged at the previous rally, preparing the car for the next race is fairly routine. However, it must be accurate and consistent, as the race car must travel in perfect condition at the start of the rally. There is very little time for repairs at the rally venue. Service stops during the rally are exactly 30 minutes long, servicing outside the official service

Aleks Humar, the new (old) national champion of Slovenia in rally

Rally

Already two rallies before the end of the national championship season, Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus (renault clio R3) became the national champions of Slovenia. Aleks Humar and his co-driver Florjan Rus (renault clio R3) also led the Slovenians from the first to the last speed test at the national championship rally in Nova Gorica and with their fifth victory this year confirmed the national champion title in the best possible way. In Nova Gorica, the seventh place in the ranking of the Slovenian championship would have been enough for Humar, but Idrijčan was again in a great mood. In the overall standings, only Italian Claudio de Cecco won with a much more powerful and four-wheel-drive Peugeot 208 T16. Aleks Humar: "Behind us is one of the most difficult rallies of this season, which was marked by weather conditions and a very slippery track. In the first

Humar has a tense showdown in Maribor

Rally

The current national rally champion Aleks Humar is still undefeated in this year's Slovenian championship. He also won the fourth race of the season in Maribor after a close showdown, but his advantage after 88 kilometers of racing was only 1,4 seconds. This year's first victory in the joint classification, Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus (renault clio R3) have already won three rallies for the national championship this year, but they had to concede victory to foreign crews in much more powerful and four-wheel drive cars. In Maribor, for the first time this year, the current national champions also celebrated in the joint classification. They did not hide their joy after it, as the victory for 1,4 seconds already hinted at how adrenaline-filled the last kilometers of the tense rally were. An already dramatic conclusion to the rally, when Humar had two speeds

Humar started best in Maribor

Rally

The Maribor Rally, the fourth race of this year's Slovenian national championship, was best started by Aleks Humar (renault clio R3), who also won last year. Humar was the fastest on the Koroški most speed test, which returned to the competition program and which we were able to see for the first time in the transmission over the Internet. Humar and co-driver Florjan Rus completed the six-kilometer course in four minutes and 15 seconds. Darko Peljhan (mitsubishi lancer evo 10), who competed today for the first time this season, was three tenths slower. Among the performers, we missed Asja Zupanc, who was probably breathing down the neck of the phantom. The third time was set by Gerald Rigler (mitsubishi lancer evo3) from Austria, followed by Friderik Vajnhandl (renault clio R3), Jani Trček

The national champion has already listed the trials

Rally

National rally champions Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus (renault clio R3) arrived in Maribor last night, where they will see and inventory nine speed trials (five different ones) this morning, and the first speed test on the Koroška bridge at 18.30 pm. The foundations of success are already being laid on the tour of the track. While the team was preparing a racing Renault Clio R3 for technical inspection, Aleks Humar and Florjan Rus were sitting in their production car early on and set off for the rally route. This consists of five different speed trials. With the exception of the one on the Carinthian Bridge, crews will only be able to drive over each one twice. "Compared to the previous rally, two speed trials are completely new, there are some new sections on the others, and we know many bends

News at the Maribor rally

Rally

After a short break, the Slovenian National Rally Championship continues in the Styrian capital. Already this week, on June 4th and 5th, racers for the Slovenian national championship will be fighting for seconds on Maribor roads. On Friday, there will also be a novelty, the first speed test from the Carinthian Bridge, which will be available live on the online media Planet Siol.net. The camera will be placed on the most attractive part of the 6,2km long speed test itself, but several laps will be taken so that everyone can be seen more than once. This year's undefeated Aleks Humar will defend the victory from two or two years ago, then with the Škoda Fabia S2000. This time, however, he will perform with a two-wheel-drive Clio. His closest follower Rok Turk (Peugeot 208 R2) is 32 points behind him, and Asja Zupanc is in third place.

Humar won for the third time and consolidated the lead

Rally

The 29th Velenje Rally, with its short speed trials, took care of small differences between the racers, and we did not see a repeat of last year's showdown for victory this year. The overall victory was celebrated by the German Manuel Kossler, who justified the role of the favorite by driving at the border. His attacking performance cost him a good ranking on Saturnus, where he smashed his Subaru Impreza R4, and in Velenje he won at his expense with a nine and a half second advantage over another German, Hermann Gassner in a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X R4, both fought in the Šaleška valley for points in the Mitropa Cup. Aleks Humar also drove offensively, and as a result he made some mistakes that would soon cost him the final rankings, but the Renault Clio R3 from Idrija always managed to save it from the worst. “Maybe I was a little pr
