race history
The history goes back to 2014. Until 2016 the race was called GP of Izola. The goal was to connect all four coastal municipalities of Izola, Koper, Piran and Ankaran. As the brand Slovenska Istra was growing, we managed to connect all the municipalities and the race got a new name, Velika nagrada Slovenske Istre (Grand Prix of Slovenian Istria). Since 2023, we are proud to add powered by I feel Slovenia to the name of the event.
