One of the attractions of the Aurum 1006km racing festival is that even those who are not very interested in big sports can find a pleasant activity in it.

But which Lithuanian does not want to be in the shoes of a runner at least once?

The best place for that is the marathon race in Palanga, on whose show, for the fifth year in a row, car slalom fans have a chance to try their luck in the spectator slalom.

Even for three days, from July 16 to 18, the slalom competition will be open to everyone, both spectators and participants of the slalom competition. The spectator slalom can be entered with any car that meets the technical requirements, and the track can be covered as many times as desired.

According to Andrei Savchenko, the organizer of this competition, the participants of the slalom competition will compete in three groups according to the type of driving of the car: driven by the front wheels (FWD), rear (RWD) and the four (AWD) . The ladies will compete in a separate class.

The fastest will take home lots of sponsor awards and be honored on the grand stage of Aurum’s 1006km race.

This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, many teams from abroad were unable to come to Palanga. 28 teams had to join the starting line, but one was already gone.

The Circle K Miles Plus Racing team will start from first position, beating the rivals in almost a second and a half.

The second and third starting positions were taken by two more teams with Porsche. It is these cars that have been successful in racing for five years in a row.

You can see the Aurum 1006 km race directly all day on the tv3.lt portal and on the TV6 channel.
