Excellent ranking of the Novak-Ocvirk crew at the German Rally

This year's biggest and most prestigious rally for the German ADAC Opel Rally Cup is behind us: Tim Novak and Uroš Ocvirk won an excellent fourth and seventh place in the German World Rally Championship (WRC) in the international cup, where future champions are training. Because the race was so long (almost 307 kilometers of speed trials or about 1.200 kilometers together with the stages), the small Ople Adams were considered Friday's part separately, and Saturday's was combined with Sunday's. “I am overjoyed to get to the finish line as we had quite a few problems. The already heavy HPs were quite sanded, in some places also wet and very slippery, and in the end we were barely drawn to the finish line, as we drove the last two HPs with a cracked semi-shaft. That's why we had to hand over the hard-earned sixth place to a competitor, "said the 22nd

At the Thuringian Rally among the top half

Rally

With the appearance of Tim Novak (this time Florjan Rus was exceptionally sitting in the hot co-driver's seat, as Uroš Ocvirk had to cancel his performance due to personal reasons) at the Thuringian Rally, this year's season in the German Opel Adam Cup turned into the second half. With seventh place (out of fifteen crews at the start), our 22-year-old racer forgot about the accident from the previous rally in the best possible way. After 138 kilometers of speed trials at the rally, which was 385 kilometers long, our crew won seventh place, and in the overall standings remained in sixth place. “I’m basically happy with seventh place, because after the accident at the Sulingen Rally, I wasn’t sitting in the Opel Adam Cup, so to speak. The rally was extremely fast and the roads were not in the best condition, so get the right feeling

The resignation of the Novak-Ocvirk crew in the seventh special stage

Rally

After a great start to the mission, a performance in the Opel Adam International Cup, which takes place at German rallies, the Tim Novak-Uroš Ocvirk crew unfortunately resigned at the Sulingen Rally. On the seventh speed test (out of 13 planned), they 'cut' the bend too much, as it is called in the jargon, and hit the stone so hard with the bike that they damaged the front chassis. "We didn't find the right rhythm at the beginning of the rally, even though we tried. Probably too much. We drove the last Friday speed test without additional headlights, which was a mistake. In the pits, we assumed we wouldn’t need them, but then, due to a co-driver’s accident, the start was postponed for 25 minutes, and by then it was already getting dark. In the same speed test, I also drove into a larger hole that damaged the power steering

After surprise and trouble, fight again

Rally

The Tim Novak-Uroš Ocvirk crew is preparing for its third appearance in the German Opel Adam Cup. If in the first race they were considered a surprise, and in the second they were quite satisfied after a reliable fourth place, they are now ready… well, at least for the podium. "I admit that the beginning of our performance in the ADAC Opel Rallye Cup was quite difficult. The first race (Saarland-Pfalz) was very muddy and slippery, so we more than proved ourselves there with the second place. It is important to know that we had no experience with the new car. Then came the Vogelsberg Rally, where we were basically happy with fourth place, as I had some problems - especially with myself. Well, he likes to go to the third and at the Sulingen Rally I hope that we will at least stand on the podium, "said the 21-year-old Novak. After two rallies

The raven remains second

Rally

At this year's second rally for the German Opel Adam Cup, our crew Tim Novak-Uroš Ocvirk won an excellent fifth place, which is a good result, considering that there were as many as 2016 Adam Cup winners at the start of the ADAC Hessen Rally Vogelsberg 17! With this success, however, our trump cards are still second in the overall cup standings. In fact, the Slovenian representatives were even better, as the second-placed Niki Schelle was only a guest in this race, so they got points for fourth place. "It was a difficult race, it rained heavily on Saturday's first speed trials, so there was also the danger of a trip off the road or even a raft of a car. It dried up in the afternoon, but there was still a lot of mud and some macadam, ”said Tim Novak at the finish line of the Hessen Vogelsberg rally. “I won’t be a river

Tim Novak is optimistic

Rally

After second place in the inaugural rally for this year's German Opel Adam Cup, Tim Novak and Uroš Ocvirk are preparing to continue their adventure, as the ADAC Hessen Rallye Vogelsberg rally is already waiting for them this weekend. The ambitions are high, but also realistic considering the difficult first rally, where they took an excellent second place with a brand new car. "I will not be modest, I hope for a good pace in the second rally of the ADAC Opel Rally Cup and, of course, for the fight for first place. The plan is excellent, but there are 16 other racers in Adami out of 91 crews on the list of registered, "Novak said with a laugh. The rally takes place on Friday night and Saturday, where 136 kilometers of speed trials will take place near Frankfurt, of which 20 kilometers are also on macadam. The central venue of the rally will be the city of Sch

With Opel Adam into international competition

Rally

Tim Novak and Uroš Ocvirk will take a big step forward in their racing career in the 2016 season by joining young talent in the German ADAC Opel Rallye Cup. There will be a new car (Opel Adam Cup) and most of the races will be new (except for the World Championship race in Germany, where they competed last year, and 3Stadte), but they are still extremely happy about the challenge. In Germany, hard work awaits them, as as many as 16 young talents from seven different countries (Germany, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, the Czech Republic and of course Slovenia) have registered for the cup, so the cup is very international, despite the German sign. "Compared to last year, there are fewer registered racers, but the team is very colorful. It is certainly important for us that most of the newcomers, so at least at the start we are approx

The adrenaline rush of the FIA Institute Academy

Rally

The FIA Institute Academy starts as a selection, but it’s basically not a competition, as there is no real winner in the end, the winners are all the participants. Well, in the end there is one first: this year the British Jordan King, driver in GP2 and test racer of the Manor F1 team, but our representative Tim Novak, despite his dewy 21 years, once again proved with excellent performances why we consider him the greatest hope of Slovenia. racing.

Tim Novak and Uroš Ocvirk in Nova Gorica twice on the podium

formula 1

The fourth rally Nova Gorica could not have ended better for the crew of Tim Novak and Uroš Ocvirk, as they took second place in the Mitropa International Cup and third place in the overall ranking of the Slovenian national championship with a brand new car. The Peugeot 208 R2 was rented from the Italian Friulmotor team just for this race, and after the pitch in Germany, they mainly wanted a race without technical problems and bad luck in the form of an accident. At the end of the hot but very nice rally in the vicinity of Nova Gorica, Banjšice and Goriška Brda, they achieved exceptional success, as they stood on the podium in both the national championship and the Mitropa International Cup. "I am really excited about the rally, as well as with my performance, as I am satisfied with both the final result and my ride. Z race
