Humar an incredible victory at Lavanttal

Rally

The current champions Aleks Humar and co-driver Florjan Rus celebrated at the opening rally of this year's season of the Slovenian national championship. Humar and Rus secured a favorable advantage over their rivals in the first eight speed trials. The closest follower Rok Turk was one minute and 27 seconds behind. At first glance, Humar's smooth victory seemingly slipped out of the hands of the current champion in the ninth test, where he punctured the tire. The driver of the Clia continued to the finish of the test and lost a minute and nine seconds, but driving with a flat tire damaged the brake hose, which required an additional 50 seconds of loss on the next test, as the champion was logically annoyed by the brakes.

So far, only 18 Slovenians are on Lavanttal

Rally

The Lavanttal Rally will also mark the beginning of the Slovenian National Rally Championship this year. Both we and the spectators are saddened by the fact that only 18 Slovenian crews have registered for it so far, compared to 28. Last year, despite the reduced number of participants in the first of seven rallies this season, we expect this number to increase if not before, at five domestic events. Also this year, the big favorite of the season is Aleks Humar with a Renault Clio R3, who pulled his car well after the winter sleep at the Rebenland rally, which was considered the Mitropa Cup. There was also Asja Zupanc with a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX, who will be the only Slovenian participant in the all-wheel drive car at the Lavanttal Rally. Points for the Slovenian championship will be in two weeks in Av

27 Slovenian crews at the Lavanttal rally

Rally

At this year's Lavanttal Rally, which will take place between 12 and 13 April, as many as 103 Slovenian crews are among the 27 entries. Rajko Žakelj and Asja Zupanc are certainly among the main favorites in the Slovenian national championship in the competition of thirty teams, and Jani Trček and Mitja Klemenčič will also be dangerous. The locals Beppo Harrach and the seven-time winner of the Lavanttal Rally, Raimund Baumschlager, will most likely fight for a joint victory. On the Slovenian scene, we are witnessing many changes of racing cars. Rok Turk finally replaced the Citroen with a Peugeot 208 R2, Martin Mlinar replaced the Yuga with the MG Zr 1.4, and Rok Jerkič, who will compete with the Škoda Felicia this year, also gave up the Yugo. Franci Božič will drive one of the remaining three Yugos in Austria, as his Fiat Panda is not ready yet.
