four Regularities, two Tests, and another border kept the pressure up on the rally today, as it said
goodbye to Slovenia and hello to croatia. from Brdo we set a course for the adriatic and our night halt
in the bustling seaside town of Rijeka.
another chilly dawn followed a clear night and the evereager crews arose with the sun. armed with squeegees and
chamois leathers they set to clearing their windshields of the
heavy dew that had settled over everything, before coaxing
their engines back into life and packing away their luggage.
Soon the check sheet at andy Inskip’s MTc saw everyone
accounted for and, at one minute intervals, the once full
car park saw its overnight guests head for the hills and
a pair of early morning Regularities. The first was from
Jamnik and was followed by the next from Korenovec, that
took the cars off the highways and onto the byways, and
into the hills over miles of rural tarmac and well-graded
gravel. There were plenty of opportunities to lose time here
but, once the crews had negotiated their way through a
vast maze of woodland and pasture, the sun terrace of the
Time control in the Taverna Petra in Gorenja vas proved
a popular place to compare notes and enjoy some of the
local pustni krofi.
