Gorenjska racing delicacy in Lučine
This weekend, 8 and 9 August, the traditional Lučina Mountain Speed Race 2015 will take place. Almost 100 drivers from as many as 10 European countries have registered. The fight for the fastest time and the overall victory promises to be between last year's winner, Swiss Titian Riva, and last year's winner and last year's 'osmoljenec', Italian Federico Liber. The mountain speed test of Lučina 2015 in Poljanska dolina once again promises a top automotive spectacle, which is not far away. 99 drivers are registered for this year's test, of which 8 are old-timers. In addition to Slovenian competitors, Austrians, Italians, Croats, Czechs and Poles will also take part, and Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and Switzerland will also develop their colors in Lučine with one representative each. This year's race is next to the national one
A record fell in Illyria!
The role of the favorite was confirmed by Simone Faggioli with the best times in all races, both trainings and both races. In the last run, with his prototype Norma M20 FC, he broke the track record and fell below the two-minute mark. With a time of 1: 59.65, he was completely in his class, as the closest follower Federico Liber was 8.8 seconds behind him, of which only 5.38 seconds in the second run. At the 20th edition of the mountain speed race in Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenians also have reason to celebrate, as our Patrik Zajelšnik celebrated the overall final third place. The national championship of Slovenia was a much closer victory, which was celebrated by Matevž Boh (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX) over the legendary Milan Bubnič in the attractive Lancia Delta Integrale HF. After two runs, she separates them
The memory of Albert and Antonio Ascari
Alberto Ascari, the son of one of the greatest Italian racers in the period between the two world wars, became one of the most dominant and popular champions. He was renowned for his careful accuracy and very good view of what was going on, which made him one of the safest drivers in very dangerous times; but he was also notoriously superstitious, and did many things in delaying his fate. But his unexplained fatal accident - at virtually the same age as his father, on the same day of the month and in eeriely similar circumstances - remains one of the greatest mysteries in the history of Formula 1. Alberto Ascari, born July 13, 1918 in Milan, had only seven years after his father Antonio, the current European champion, died in an accident at the French Grand Prix in Montlhéry while leading the race. Until then, little Alb
Goodbye good bosses
Maybe McLaren and Ferrari really need to work completely on the edge before the results show up. Ron Dennis and Luca di Montezemolo are in all probability thinking in this direction, and they are ruling accordingly. Both no longer have anything to prove, but they can lose quite a bit; yet they feel called to establish proper order. What if there are problems. Who will say goodbye? Can Eric Boullier and Marco Mattiacci feel safe at all? The latter in particular is on much thinner ice, given that his racing connections are not much different from Luigi Chinetti, who was also Ferrari's first husband in America decades ago. There was a feeling of less panic around his appointment. As if it had all happened before. Let's go back half a century
