The Aple Adria Masters was held at the Tolmin track in Slovenia. After last year’s rain this year the weather held up perfect, attracting many drivers to compete in several on-road classes. In the 1/8th Nitro On-road class Jernej Vuga won the final after starting from the 2 spot behind Nejc Mihelic.
