The Vesnić auto club was founded on 20 May 1997 in Užice. Its founder was Milun Vesnić — a man who had already recorded eighteen Yugoslav championship titles across three different disciplines, two Balkan rally crowns, and become the first ever recipient of the Diamond Helmet of the Auto-Moto Association of Serbia.
Alongside him from the start was Danica Vesnić, the first female co-driver in the history of Yugoslav motorsport, with whom he won one of those two Balkan titles. From the first day the club was never a business venture but a family one — and so it has remained.
Milovan 'Mikica' Vesnić picked up where his father left off: twelve national titles, four FIA Central European Zone crowns and entries in the FIA ETCC. Today the third generation is behind the wheel — Đorđe Vesnić.

How we work
Everything is done in our own workshop
Preparation, maintenance, setup and logistics — from the last bolt torqued to the transporter parked in a Polish town 1,500 kilometres from home. The team hires neither its cars nor its people.
