Banja Luka racing driver Bojan Miljković, representing ASK Kastavac, delivered an outstanding performance at Croatia’s Grobnik Circuit, securing victories in the junior category in both championship races and claiming the overall Group 7 victory in the second race of the 2026 Grand Finale.
The event, held on November 6 and 7, featured challenging weather conditions, intense competition and dramatic moments on the track.
Despite the changing circumstances, Miljković demonstrated impressive speed, determination and adaptability, completing the weekend with a perfect record in the junior category.
Challenging weather conditions test drivers at Grobnik
The two-day racing event presented competitors with completely different track conditions.
Friday brought sunshine and favorable conditions for practice sessions, while Saturday introduced rain, a wet track and significantly more demanding driving conditions.
The unpredictable weather required additional concentration, precise vehicle control and confidence during crucial moments of the races.
Miljković successfully adapted to these challenges, producing strong performances in both championship races.
Third place overall and junior victory in the opening race
The first Group 7 race featured a competitive battle among the leading drivers.
After completing 15 laps, Miljković finished third overall, behind Luka Fabijančić and Žarko Knego.
However, he was the fastest driver in the junior category, securing his first victory of the weekend.
The result provided an excellent foundation for the second race, where the Banja Luka driver would deliver an even more impressive performance.
Spectacular overtaking maneuver highlights second race
Rain made the second race particularly demanding, turning the Group 7 competition into a test of driving skill and determination.
One of the race’s most memorable moments came when Miljković executed a spectacular overtaking maneuver at the Zagreb Corner.
The bold move demonstrated his determination to fight for every position and attracted attention for its precision and timing.
Interestingly, Miljković was unaware that Luka Fabijančić and Žarko Knego had received time penalties.
Rather than relying on his competitors’ mistakes or penalties, he continued pushing for the best possible result on the track.
Because of those penalties, Miljković would have secured the victory even without his impressive overtaking maneuver.
Miljković claims overall Group 7 victory
Miljković completed the second race in first place in Group 7, finishing 14 laps with a total time of 26 minutes and 18.764 seconds.
He finished 14.355 seconds ahead of runner-up Robert Pravdić, while Luka Fabijančić took third place.
In addition to winning the overall Group 7 classification, Miljković once again finished as the fastest junior competitor.
The result completed an exceptional racing weekend for the young driver.
Two junior victories cap off successful 2026 Grand Finale
With two junior-category victories and an overall Group 7 win in the second race, Bojan Miljković concluded his appearance at the 2026 Grand Finale in impressive fashion.
His progression from third place overall in the opening race to victory in the second highlighted his speed, competitive spirit and ability to perform under pressure.
The Banja Luka driver’s success at Grobnik Circuit marked another significant achievement in his motorsport career.
