manoeuvres for the lead not only in almost every race, but in every lap. Lead changes happens so often, that sometimes it´s hard to count them. However the most important think is to be in the leading group until the final phase of the race. And then attack in the right place and in the right time. This is the moment, when experienced Twingo Cup drivers like Ivanuša and Štefančič have an advantage.

As season continued, Ivanuša has won at Grobnik and entered the last round at Slovakia Ring with seven points behind Štefančič. After the first race there, which was won by Miha Fabian, Štefančič had just one point lead in the standings. So the final race was all about the outcome of the championship. Thrilling race at long Slovakian circuit had dramatic moments, but the eventual winner was Nik Štefančič, who became the first driver ever to defend the title in Twingo Cup. Second finished Ivanuša, third Mihajlo Mladenović, fourth Miha Fabijan and fifth David Stušek. ■
