The hoast and mentor on the track in Shpielberg was an ex F1 driver, Austrian Patrick Friesacher, who helped them get the theoretical and practical knowledge they latter applied to the track.

At the start of the "show", Friesacher first drove Ivana and Goran KTM X Bow two-seater, and that experience was impressive, for the co drivers and for the audience by the track.

- It was fenomenal, i don't know what to say. I did not expect something like that. I really like speed, but this... this is amazing. You don't have a slightest idea what will happen next. Everything is so fast. It was crazy - said Ivana after the experience that you don't get to have often, if you ever get to feel it.

Goran Obradovic, coach of the Serbian athlete, couldn't hide his excitement.

- I felt safe even though this drive was something i never experienced. So fast and dangerous, and yet safe.

Speed is her passion and the part of her life, but 26-year-old athlete couldn't believe she will feel such adrenaline rush. First free day, after the tiresome season, Ivana used for fun, but she did not expect it to turn into adventure.

It was just a warm up for what follows. Friesacher, after the theoretical lesson, put Ivana and Goran in Formula 2.0, and before that, Ivana received a racing suit custom made with her name and the flag of Serbia. But that was not all. Before she got in the Formula, Ivana got unique helmet painted just for her - with Serbian coat of arms, her signature, mark 7+ which means everything that Ivana and her team is striving for, length over 7 meters and hashtag #DreamBig.

Ivana and Goran then went to the track where best drivers of Formula 1 raced, like Ricard, Hamilton, Verstappen, Rozberg, Fetel and the best motorcycle drivers including currently first in the general ranking, Mark Markeze.

From circle to circe, Ivana and Goran were more and more certain and drove faster on the 4.3 kilometer track. They both tried to find the safest but also the fastest line of driving.

- I couldn't believe how hard it is to steer the vehicle. It is completely different from what i thought. Things go by you so fast you can only see few dots in front of you. You have to be extremely physically prepared - said Ivana.

After the spectacular day, Patric was asked to rate who the better driver is - I already said that both of them are really good, but if i have to chose, Ivana is just a bit braver and that may have taken the advandage.

Ivana is also a fan of cars and speed, and see what she told us when she recently drove as a cover face for Tiguan.
