00:00Welcome to the show Automotor and Sport TV. I am Antonija Stupar and in the next half an hour you will have the opportunity to enjoy the fascinating stories of our journalists and presentations of attractive automobiles.
00:30Look what we have prepared for you. In front of you is half an hour of real adrenaline and fun.
01:01Karting center Å pansko is an ideal place for a real race. The go-kart that I will drive is significantly weaker than those that are driven on the races.
01:10But that does not mean that I will be slow, so I will definitely not slow down.
01:15In addition, even greater requirements await us, a comparative test of Opel Astra and Alfa 147.
01:21Both cars have diesel engines of 150 horsepower. We also had a guest who tested them, but I will not tell you about whom.
01:32It is better to look at what are his impressions and which car he likes more.
01:37Fiat and General Motors were born two different cars with identical engines.
01:42It is the Alfa Romeo 147 JTD and Opel Astra GTC.
01:47The engine was developed by the Italians and is one of the best in the class.
01:51Evaluating the main characteristics of these competitors was helped by the well-known Croatian rapper Neret.
01:57This year, the redesigned Alfa 147 JTD and Alfa Romeo 147 JTD are in the race.
02:03This year, the redesigned Alfa 147 JTD is already known as one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful car in the class.
02:11Problematic is the small space on the parking lot and the plate and glove compartment of only 292 liters.
02:17However, it has excellent seats, instruments facing the driver and excellent ergonomics.
02:22I really feel good in it.
02:25There are plenty of seats and I guess that every man who drives a larger mileage or longer distances knows that this is an ideal car for that.
02:40I mean, you spend 6-7 liters, that's nothing.
02:43Opel Astra GTC is considered to be the successor of the once popular Calibra.
02:47The three-door body resembles a coupe, but it is not because of the front doors.
02:51On the inside, in the form of instrument panel and seat position on the front seats, GTC does not differ from a classic limousine.
02:59The biggest problem is the completely inconspicuous guardrail, where the whole bus could be hidden in a dead corner.
03:05The car is comfortable, you know, I like that it has a lot of space and it is also comfortable to drive.
03:12The car has the same diesel engine and 150 horsepower, so it has almost the same performance as Alfa Romeo 147.
03:23Alfa 147 is distinguished by an exceptional torsion stiffness, which is important for driving characteristics.
03:30The brakes are extremely strong and the electronics for maintaining stability is calibrated so that it allows you to play with the approach.
03:37Oops, a little bump, we'll try the pipe again.
03:42I guess they'll think I'm mad at them, but I'm really not mad at anyone.
03:47Here, just to record their reaction.
03:49Here he comes.
03:51Boss, we're just testing the pipe on the Alfa.
03:55We're just testing the pipe on the Alfa.
03:59On the Alfa Romeo.
04:01Alfa Romeo, I messed it up a bit, Alfa Romeo.
04:04The Astra GTC is equipped with the IDS Plus system, which by pressing the Sport button on the central comb, makes the car even more sporty.
04:12The steering wheel becomes flatter and the engine is faster in order of acceleration.
04:16The top speed is 210 km per hour, and it takes 8.9 seconds to reach 100 km per hour.
04:21The Alfa looks sporty and all that, but this one is more comfortable, wider, bigger, better and I really feel that it is much faster on the gas pedal than this Alfa 147.
04:34It has a funny pipe, it has a very funny pipe, but it's not okay.
04:42The engine of the Alfa 147 is similar to the one in the Astra, but it is a bit more calibrated and has a bigger torque.
04:49However, as the Alfa is a bit lighter, it has better acceleration, 8.8 seconds to 100 km per hour.
04:55And a bit better elasticity, with the same maximum speed and consumption.
04:58The equipment of the car is complete, 6 air vents, automatic air conditioning, complete electrification and a computer.
05:05The windows are electric, so they reduce the risk of falling into a tennis court or something.
05:19The windows are slightly lowered up and down.
05:23Thanks to the large torque, the motorized Astra GTC is much more reliable in terms of elasticity and acceleration.
05:32The driveshafts, discs on all wheels with ABS, are solid.
05:36Spaciousness is also one of the characteristics that the Astra can be praised for.
05:40In our job, it is extremely important that the car has a large luggage.
05:47It works for shipping, it works to remove the body and such things.
05:52So, young lady, I'll take off your sunglasses.
05:55Please, enter the luggage in a second, just to see if I'm doing it right.
06:00Does it fit?
06:02In size, yes.
06:11We can conclude that the Opel Astra in the GTC production does not resemble an ordinary Astra at all.
06:18It is attractive, powerful and extremely well-equipped.
06:21However, the beauty and driving pleasure are on the side of the Alfa 147.
06:26We came to this beautiful Brezuljka to visit and to believe in the second part of the story of the city of Zagreb.
06:34It is a beautiful idyll, a golf idyll on this terrain.
06:42In my free time, I often come here with my friends and play golf.
06:48I will use this opportunity to greet my friends on the golf course.
06:52Where are you, Mishko?
06:54Come here, little guy!
06:56What are you doing?
06:58You can't give up, you can't give up!
07:01Go, go, go!
07:03You have it, you have it, you are strong!
07:05Shoot, shoot, shoot, play!
07:07Go, go, go, go!
07:13Well done, guys!
07:15I enjoy this game so much that the fans always carry me with them.
07:22So I think it's time to move on, because golf is a masterful game.
07:28I wouldn't want to accidentally miss a hole in someone's attempt to win.
07:37Don't worry, hold on to me, I'm getting into this car and we're moving on.
07:47She has always been a friend and has been in charge of the Croatian music scene for years.
07:52We still don't know what kind of driver she is, what kind of cars she likes and what is fun about her favorite name.
07:59Our journalist was driven by Josip Lisac.
08:22Where do you want to go?
08:29My first car was a Mini Morris, when I put it under the hood.
08:34Then my Carlo said, listen, it's so terrible, I look like I'm sitting on the road.
08:40Catastrophe.
08:42Then we went to America and we drove a Dacia.
08:46We moved to Mercedes-Benz in the 80s.
08:50Somehow...
08:53Somehow...
08:55I don't know, he just dominated.
09:02He said, Mercedes is a car, and everything else is a car.
09:08Yes, I got into a BMW and then I kind of sat down,
09:12Jesus Christ, where am I going now?
09:19When people saw me driving a BMW, they said, no, Josip, that's not you.
09:24It doesn't suit you at all.
09:27It doesn't suit you at all, okay?
09:31I mean, I don't have that problem of prestige.
09:36I don't have that problem of fame.
09:39I don't have that problem of prestige.
09:43I don't have that problem of status.
09:46I shouldn't pretend to be important in front of anyone.
09:50I really wanted to be, let's say, satisfied,
09:56that I like it, that I'm safe, and so on.
10:01What people see of me in Mercedes, I don't see at all.
10:05I have to look at the car.
10:08No, no, I'm not that kind of person.
10:12I'm kind of a slow-motion person,
10:17a person who never rushes.
10:21I shouldn't be.
10:25I know how to talk, and maybe I do,
10:29and maybe I really can't cancel it,
10:32or I make a driver's statement, or someone gets mad at me,
10:37but that's forgiven.
10:43Now I'm driving a Mercedes CLK 320.
10:47What do you know about the car?
10:50Don't ask me how strong it is.
10:54It's pretty strong.
11:03It's just a little bit old.
11:06It's from 1997.
11:11Next.
11:14Nothing special.
11:16That's why there are Vulcanizers,
11:19and I've never driven a petrol car myself.
11:23A lot of cars have changed here.
11:26One of them was even in the movie.
11:29I don't know exactly which lines we were on.
11:33They were all S-lines,
11:36S, L,
11:39beautiful limousines,
11:42bigger, longer, shorter, etc.
11:45Twice, once,
11:48they made me fall in love,
11:51but that was on the Rotor.
11:54I really didn't...
11:56The car just flew over me.
11:59I really said that on the Rotor.
12:02I said, that's not fair.
12:05Why me?
12:07That's all they told me.
12:10Nothing ever happens to a driver.
12:13At the end of the day,
12:16it's the driver's job to show what he knows.
12:19He has his responsibility.
12:26The Carting race has always been very popular.
12:29Famous Formula 1 names
12:32started their careers by driving these little cars.
12:35In the next episode,
12:38you'll see one of the best-made cars in our country.
12:41All in the color orange.
12:44And those who follow the Croatian tuning scene
12:47surely know what I'm talking about.
12:50Filip, in his little car,
12:52can't go unnoticed.
12:55Why? Take a look.
13:07Whether he was a tuner or not,
13:10the view of this Dreambox on the wheels
13:13is breathtaking.
13:16This once-ordinary Opel Corsa
13:19was turned into a masterpiece in just nine months.
13:22It's a completely different story.
13:25Filip started with classic tuning,
13:28from the Rigger set-up and spoilers
13:31to the rims and the exhaust.
13:34That was four years ago,
13:37and now, a year and a half ago,
13:40I got bored of it,
13:43so I started something more extreme,
13:46and this is what you can see behind me.
13:49At first glance,
13:52it looks like a car from the outside.
13:55Under the bonnet, there's a 1.4-liter petrol engine
13:58with 60 horsepower,
14:01which is equipped with expensive components.
14:04There are K&M filters and an exhaust system
14:07on each side.
14:10The first thing he did was the hood,
14:13which received the so-called bad look.
14:16Then, he removed all the paint from the whole car.
14:19Then, he widened the mudguards.
14:22Then, he painted the whole car from the outside,
14:25in two different colors, as you can see.
14:28The interior is equipped with sports shoes,
14:31a steering wheel and a handbrake,
14:34and leather seats.
14:37In the middle of the cockpit,
14:40there's a 9D MP3 player with a 7-inch monitor.
14:43When he's bored, he quickly solves it
14:46with a good game on the PlayStation 2.
14:49When I come to a bar for a coffee,
14:52I turn on the power and the front system.
14:55There's a capacitor to focus everything
14:58and a battery.
15:01Although he invested a lot in this car,
15:04it was definitely worth it.
15:07Filip has won 11 cups in less than a year.
15:10Last year, he won five awards
15:13on the Street Race in Rijeka,
15:16where he appeared with his car for the first time.
15:19He was the overall winner of Street Style,
15:22and his Corsa was the best street race car in Rijeka.
15:25Then, I went to Sarajevo and Belgrade,
15:28where I also participated in the Street Race,
15:31where I also won awards for styling.
15:34Then, the Street Race season started again
15:37in Croatia,
15:40where I won awards again this year.
15:43When it comes to plans for the future,
15:46Filip emphasizes that the only thing he's interested in
15:49is team competition.
15:52Now, his Team Xtreme will take the first place.
15:55He also says that there are too many other awards.

19:32DANGEROUS INVESTIGATION TODAY AT 21.15 ON RTL TELEVISION
19:39SETTLE INTO THE HOUSE OF THE BIG BROTHER WITH TECHO MAX ADSL
20:09Although the home of karting is New Zealand,
20:12the strongest British and French are in this sport for years.
20:15And our journalists from Zagreb went to the sea,
20:18and in a real luxury car.
20:20Look what a weekend with Peyton was like.
20:35Although with three-year experience in the luxury car market,
20:39the Volkswagen Peyton still attracts the eyes of the passers-by.
20:45The reason is simple.
20:47It is the largest and most luxurious Volkswagen car.
20:51It is intended for business people and demanding clients,
20:54who spend most of their road trips in the back seats,
20:57and leave the driver's seat to professional drivers.
21:00Of course, they shouldn't have paid us.
21:02We spent seven days, as usual, in the company of a car
21:06that is simply hard to find.
21:07It was in appearance, convenience, driving characteristics or performance.
21:14Already with a length of five meters,
21:16Peyton reveals that it is intended for a luxury society.
21:19The outside is still attractive, but a little unexciting design,
21:22follows a perfectly designed and pedant interior.
21:26Simplicity was obviously the basic guiding principle
21:29when designing this model.
21:31But the question is what the rich Croatian clientele thinks about it,
21:34which is one of the basic life goals,
21:35to be noticed on the street.
21:39The interior is equipped with the highest quality materials,
21:42with details that will especially impress,
21:44such as these fan covers that start the electric motors.
21:48The central console houses the so-called infotainment system,
21:52with a large 7-inch screen in color.
21:54On it, drivers and passengers can follow all important functions,
21:57from excellent audio system and air conditioning,
21:59to satellite navigation, TV or phone.
22:02Convenience is also provided by wooden decorative furniture
22:05and leather equipment Vienna Classic Style,
22:07and no wonder the rich list of additional equipment,
22:09with which the car can be maximally adapted.
22:18For performance, in this case,
22:20the smallest aggregate offers,
22:22a three-liter V6 TDI, which Peyton shares with Touareg.
22:25At first glance, it will leave the impression
22:27that it is hard to carry almost two and a half tons with a heavy car,
22:29which is partly due to the 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic.
22:34But once it picks up the gas,
22:36Peyton will really freak you out for a seat
22:38and bring you to a hundred in less than 9 seconds.
22:40The maximum speed of 234 km per hour
22:43is enough for an exciting race with police interceptors.
22:46The power of 225 horses at 4,000 revolutions per minute
22:50is transferred to all four wheels.
22:52The car is equipped with an air suspension.
22:54Spectacular 450 Nm of torque
22:57is available at 1,400 revolutions per minute.
23:00Pretty convincing, isn't it?
23:05On an open road, Peyton will feel like a natural habitat,
23:08where its comfort will come to the fore.
23:10But because of the outer dimensions,
23:12driving on city roads will be a little problematic.
23:14Maneuvering on narrow streets,
23:16like these in OmiŔlja on Krk,
23:18is a task for drivers.
23:20This will certainly not bother those
23:22who are comfortably seated on the back seats
23:24and read an example of a business report
23:26and, for their own satisfaction,
23:28go on a tour of a private quarry.
23:31For them, a high price,
23:33in the case of a tested model of 80,000 euros,
23:35will not be a problem.
23:37For those who are not satisfied with that,
23:39Peyton will equip them with additional equipment
23:41and raise the price to astronomical heights.
23:43If it is too expensive for you,
23:45you can settle for a cheaper version,
23:47because the price of the basic model
23:49is already around 68,000 euros.
23:51However, it is hard to deny the impression
23:53that this model of the creator
23:54can hardly pass in the company of buyers
23:56who are already traditionally
23:58turned to Mercedes, BMW and Audi.
24:03In the new lineup,
24:05this will not be important at all,
24:07because it is not said without reason
24:09that everything is a matter of habit.
24:21Karting is the best possible beginning
24:22for every child who would like
24:24to become a race driver today or tomorrow.
24:26All go-karts are the same,
24:28so talent can be discovered
24:30as early as possible.
24:32The skill and knowledge of the driver
24:34are the main factors that will ensure
24:36the victory in this sport.
24:38And who has won in the past races
24:40and what are the news of World Day
24:42most interesting,
24:44look in our news.
24:49From 0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds.
24:51The maximum speed is more than 400 km per hour.
24:53A little more than 1,000 horses,
24:554 turbines, 16 cylinders
24:57and 8,000 cubic meters.
24:59Sounds impressive, doesn't it?
25:02Bugatti announces the fastest
25:04and strongest supercar ever produced,
25:06Veyron.
25:08And the price of $ 1,300,000
25:10is in line with performance and design.
25:12Fans of expensive cars and collectors
25:14are certainly already preparing
25:16their bank accounts.
25:18Volkswagen has launched Roadshow,
25:20which will present its models
25:22in 19 cities around our beautiful country.
25:24Experts will be able to test drive it.
25:27Watch when Roadshow takes place
25:29in your city
25:31and spend pleasant moments
25:33with attractive cars
25:35and a fun program.
25:37Due to bad weather forecasts,
25:39402 Street Race was canceled.
25:41The biggest tuning event in Croatia
25:43was supposed to take place
25:45at Varazdin airport.
25:47It is also the last 402 Street Race
25:49in the season.
25:51In the Arab world, Audi shone
25:53with pure silver.
25:55Its big and rich owner
25:57should be well protected from shocks
25:59because silver is a very soft,
26:01noble metal.
26:03After the great award
26:05of Italy in Monza,
26:07it became clear that it is not important
26:09to be fast, but the most reliable.
26:11On the eve of the victory in Montoya,
26:13McLaren is on the right track
26:15to lose the championship
26:17in the world races of cars.
26:19It will present its models
26:21to more than 1,100 exhibitors
26:23from 40 countries.
26:25Karting races are ideal for every pocket.
26:27The season is not so expensive
26:29and children can be happy
26:31because they do not have to wait
26:3318 years to drive a car race.
26:35And how to win
26:37in sidecar races,
26:39what kind of sport it is
26:41and how the driver and co-driver
26:43work, we investigated
26:45at the recently held
26:47Motor Show.
26:49Hundreds of years ago,
26:51no one remembered
26:53to attach a trailer to a motorcycle,
26:55which resulted in increased
26:57travel comfort and,
26:59thanks to the third wheel,
27:01increased engine stability.
27:03The birth of the first sidecar.
27:05For hundreds of years,
27:07sidecars have developed
27:09from a cheap means of transportation
27:11to technologically highly developed
27:13racing machines,
27:15which look more like Formula 1
27:17racing machines.
27:19The sidecar recently gathered
27:21at the Automotodrom Grobnik
27:23at the World Championship of Priholichar.
27:25The sidecar is controlled
27:27by the driver and co-driver.
27:29The driver is located
27:31only a few millimeters above the floor,
27:33and his low position
27:35significantly improves
27:37the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
27:39The way we are racing
27:41is this way.
27:43We are going down
27:45and we sit on our knees.
27:47It is the same as
27:49with a normal motorcycle.
27:51There is gas here,
27:53and on this side there is a clutch.
27:55The brakes are not in the front,
27:57but for all turns,
27:59they are down at the foot.
28:01During the race,
28:03we are lowered like this.
28:06The driver controls the gas
28:08and the speed of the vehicle,
28:10and the co-driver serves
28:12as a living balance,
28:14and without him it would be
28:15like changing the weight of the vehicle.
28:22My normal position
28:24is in a straight line.
28:26My hands are on these handles,
28:28and my legs are behind.
28:30The other hand is on this handle
28:32and bent.
28:34When the motorcycle goes to the left,
28:36I have to go out a little
28:38to keep the balance.
28:40So when the engine goes to the right,
28:42I have to come here,
28:43and this gives the bike
28:45traction and stability
28:47at all times.
28:49The co-driver is not connected
28:51to the sidecar,
28:53and during the race,
28:55he can hold only
28:57two handles.
28:59I have a handle here and here.
29:01If I lean forward,
29:03the driver can steer easier,
29:05and if I lean to the rear,
29:07the motorcycle gets more traction.
29:09I have to find the middle
29:11so that everything works
29:13as it should.
29:15The sidecar is very low
29:17and aerodynamic.
29:19The frame is made of aluminum
29:21and the body is made of carbon.
29:23The competitors use
29:25frozen engines Suzuki GSX-R
29:27or Yamaha R1,
29:29from which they manage to pull
29:31between 185 and 200 horsepower.
29:33The maximum speed is about
29:35280 kilometers per hour.
29:37The weight of empty vehicles
29:39is 250 kilograms,
29:41and after each race
29:43the weight is less than
29:45390 kilograms.
29:47During the race,
29:49the driver and co-driver
29:51have no communication.
29:53The co-driver follows the
29:55direction of the sidecar
29:57and, if necessary,
29:59corrects the ideal line.
30:01In emergency cases,
30:03the co-driver manages
30:05to signal the driver
30:07to stop.
30:09This sport is popular
30:11in Croatia,
30:13and the Croatian team
30:15is still relatively easy
30:17to get into the game
30:19and develop.
30:21I can only recommend
30:23to every Croatian
30:25who would like to try it,
30:27who is talented,
30:29that we will give him a motorcycle
30:31to try it out
30:33and that we will help him.
30:35Everyone is welcome.
30:37The sidecar drivers
30:39have more in common
30:40and, in a positive way,
30:42they are crazy.
30:44That would be all for today.
30:46I hope you enjoyed
30:48our company,
30:50just like I did
30:52during the whole day.
