Race in Logatec which was in the beginning of November, was a conclusion of this year’s National Championship in motor racing in Slovenia. Matej Grudnik – Clio 2.0 RS, a member of Auto Club V-Racing had set himself a goal to compete in a rally or two, as well. With his co-driver Jure Ročnik they competed in three out of six rallies for National Championship and achieved one win, one third place and one retirement and so reached their hidden desires to climb to the podium. Rally aside, Matej had also competed in National Championship in Parallel Rally Cross and achieved the National Champion title in group 2000 ccm and National Vice-champion title in general classification. With this result he ended this season in the best way possible and can look forward into the future. In next season Grudnik / Ročnik crew’s wishes are to attend all the rallies in the National Championship.
Our V-Racing Clio team is still active. Beside Parallel rally cross we focused on rally as well. After heavy crash in rally Ajdovscina on 29th of August we started to mend the car very intensively so it would be fixed for home rally - Rally Velenje 27th of Septembre. With hard work we managed to do that just a day before the race but without any test runs. Despite of that we achieved 1st place in N2000 group and 5th place overall in Slovenian championship. We were very happy with this result because we felt that our work was rewarded.
