Less than a month to GHD Gorjanci

From 19 to 21 June, the Gorjanci mountain speed race will be on the agenda again. On the 4,3 km long course, the competitors will compete in the Slovenian and Austrian championships, and the race will also be considered the European Championship of vintage cars, the European Mountain Speed Cup. The listed competitions are a guarantee for a great race, worth watching. This year's national championship in mountain speed racing traditionally started in neighboring Verzegnis, where last year's success was repeated by the current national champion Matevž Boh (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX), who is coming to Gorjanci as the leader in the Slovenian national championship, in second and third place. Peter Marc (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX) and Denis Žbogar (Renault Clio R3) finished the race in the vicinity of Udine. The race was missed by multiple national champions Milan Bubnič

Italian Simone Faggioli won the first run of the mountain speed race in Buzet. With a time of 2: 11.661, he overtook second-placed Czech Miloš Beneš by almost 7 seconds, and Fausto Bormolini, the third fastest, was still 1.8 seconds slower. The best Slovenian, Marjan Smrdelj, was sixth fastest among many formulas and prototypes, and he ran a little less than 17 seconds slower than Faggioli. In the Slovenian national championship, it smells again of the easy victory of Matevž Boh (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX). You can see all the times of the first run at this link: -link

Silux Cup - A much-needed diversification of races!

GHD

The very successful Slovenian team Lema Racing and the well-known IK Sport are preparing an interesting cup competition in mountain speed races for this season together with the company Silux. The Silux Cup will comprise four races, which will also count as the Slovenian Mountain Speed National Championship, and the racers will compete in them with six Renault Clio Cups of two generations and two Škoda Fabia R2s. To prove themselves primarily to racers and not race cars, more powerful cars will be weighted down so that the weight-to-power ratio of all race cars will be the same. The praiseworthy enrichment of the Slovenian racing scene will also enjoy excellent media coverage, as Planet TV will prepare reports after each race with many footage from the track and race cars, numerous conversations with racers and not yet

Beneš is the surprising winner of Buzet, Zajelšnik third

GHD

The Czech Miloš Beneš is the surprising winner of this year's mountain speed race in Buzet. With a time of 2: 17.562, he was faster than his compatriot Otokar Kramski, and the third was Slovenian Patrik Zajelšnik. The favorite to win, Swiss Julien Ducommun did not reach the finish line due to a technical malfunction. His race car went out soon after the start of the second run, and so Ducommun was left without a win, which smiled on him after the fastest time of the first run. Both races were marked by numerous resignations and interruptions. The last one, which started at 13:30 p.m., did not end until after XNUMX p.m. The Slovenian national championship in mountain speed racing also ended with the race in Buzet. After the resignation of Rado Raspet and Milan Bubnič, Aleš Prek easily won a new victory and secured this year's title of national champion.

The fastest Swiss Ducommun in training

At the 32nd Buzet Days in Buzet, Croatia, the fastest Swiss Julien Ducommun was in training, who covered the 5-kilometer track with an Osella FA 30 with a time of 2: 17.957, leaving behind the Czech Miloš Beneš and Otokar Kramski. Ducommun missed the first training session due to technical problems on the car. The Buzet Festival of Speed started on Friday with a car parade, and on Saturday 261 racers from twelve countries completed their training. 213 vehicles competed, including promotional racing cars, go-karts and front cars. As a result, the first workout lasted almost four hours and the second a little over three. The action was interrupted several times, once a little longer due to a spilled oil left on the track by Gianfranco Muzio. The Czech Martin Šipek was very lucky to succeed safely

As many as 197 registered racers in Buzet

GHD

More than 32 racers from ten European countries will take part in the 180nd Buzet Days. As many as nineteen formulas or prototypes will appear among them. The Croatians are most looking forward to the arrival of the Italian Simone Faggioli, who set a track record last year with a time of 2: 11.858. Buzet is traditionally the last stop of the European Mountain Speed Championship, so the highest places were awarded before this race. The racers here no longer had to drive at full speed, and the spectators were deprived of this. But this year the European champion will be crowned only after the race in Buzet! Among the formulas, Faggioli leads, but he does not have an elusive advantage over his compatriot Faust Bormolini. Faggioli therefore even canceled his appearance in the race of the Italian national championship, which
