File Name: Preluk 1974 File Submitter: Alessandro Pollini File Submitted: 24 Aug 2011 File Category: Tracks Author : GSTARAZ-der Dumeklemmer-S.Loro rFactor Version - Race On Version Reconverted to GTR2 from the GTL updated conversion by derDumeklemmer It's based on the original GPL vervsion of Sergio Loro. - My biggest respect for this great job - Located exactly between Rijeka and Opatija (not belonging to neather of them.the city of Opatija starts on the sharp turn on the west side of the track, and Rijeka starts on the sharp turn at the east end of the downhill straight.) Locally known as Preluk, the 6.0 km track was named Abazzia in the 1930s, when the territory temporarily belonged to Italy, and also as Carnaro. The venue was described as the Monaco of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing circuit for its spectacular views. It hosted international races (post-World War II) between 1950 and 1977, and bike races, including the Yugoslavian motorcycle Grand Prix from 1969 to 1977 and from 1979 to 1982. FIA GT Championship and World Sportscar Championship races were held between 1950 and 1959, Formula Junior in 1960, 1961 and 1963, and Formula 3 between 1964 and 1968. Worries over safety at the track forced its closure, and racing switched to the newly-constructed Grobnik circuit. Click here to download this file
