The Maribor Rally did not end as planned for Premrl

Rally

Even before the rally, it was known that this would be a very demanding rally because 1/3 of the speed tests out of a total of 77 km took place on macadam and the weather forecast was not promising. On Saturday, the weather prospects came true and even at the peak of the first speed test, the crews were surprised by the snow. Grega and Gregor drove the first HP quite well and lagged only behind the Mitshubishis which have a 4x4 drive, which was a big advantage on the macadam hill. Unfortunately, the rally for Grego and Gregor ended 2km before the finish line 2 HP. Due to a technical error on the accelerator pedal, a slip from the road also followed. The luck in the accident was that they were stopped by a tree because if it weren’t for it, it would have landed in the valley. Unfortunately, resignations are part of this sport, so Grega and Grego are already watching with their heads held high at the next rally, which will be

Stairs for the OPV Šport team at the beginning of the season

Rally

? The national rally championship started this year in Styria, where the 12th Porsche Maribor rally hosted the racers last Saturday, this time in April. And the April weather additionally spiced up the already interesting start of the season, as as much as 33% of the speed tests took place on a macadam surface, and Saturday's snow on Pohorje was only an addition to the already demanding rally. For the participating teams, this was, of course, only an additional challenge, among them also for the OPV Športa team, which participated in the rally with as many as three crews and two co-drivers. While co-drivers Martina Lazar and Barbara Tolar had to give up before the finish due to technical problems with the two cars, the others fought successfully until the end. The crew of Martin and Miran Mlinar with the MG ZR 105 race car is at the finish line in the center of Maribor
