Close racing season must adequately. Pilots MaxPowerCars had only three attempts at it, to set the course record at the Moscow Raceway, and they did it!
Carbon monsters can fight record holders
«Time! What is my time ?! „- Stepan Krumilov blurted, quickly jumping out of its 600-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette. He could not wait to see the time of the first scoring attempt in the classroom Unlimited. In this class, there is no prohibition on completion of vehicles allowed every engineering fantasy that will help realize the full potential of the car.
Each year, participants MaxPowerCars set records on Russian roads. This year particularly distinguished Stepan Krumilov that immediately, at the first stage in Sochi, has set a high bar for all fans.
Here only this time, in addition to its main rival, Dmitry Dudarev on a fiery 650 horsepower Mitsubishi Evo IX, was announced two more powerful machines — carbon Nissan GT-R Victor Shaitar 750 hp and carbon EVO VI Elizarova Maxima capacity of 640 hp
The goal was simple — to beat last year's record of 1: 40.1 Carbon Evo, which was set at the final stage of last year. This time, during training mechanics to troubleshoot the vehicle so that it almost immediately deleted from the applicants for the record. Especially during the second attempt to Evo blown tube.
Record set Viktor Shaitar — 1: 39.684. On the third attempt he improved his time, but it was canceled (1.38.437).
But the surprises were not over. Maxim Elizarov clocked 1: 41.073:
«If not for the support of my team, I would have never left the track. We could not miss the final, cramps would do this, we do not forgive. Unfortunately, because of the work it does not receive due attention be given to the race, but after the break, the atmosphere felt very strongly MaxPowerCars. Thanks to the organizers, who, despite all the difficulties and the global crisis, continue the work of Maxim Travin! „.
Third place went to Dmitri Dudarev (1: 42.448). One of the mechanics of the pilot, who built this incredible project, believes that «the best Tune Evo — it's 911 GT3».
Stepan Krumilov this time was only the fourth: «Too few turns in this config to deal with the» Evo. " Straight — this is my minus in the fight with them. "
Unfortunately, claimed Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Denis Volkov at the start did not come out, apparently, the owner decided that no chance to excel.
If you want to compare your times on the track, then we add that the participants went configuration FIM.
Preparation is strong, but not RAF has nowhere
It would seem that the passions should subside further. But this year, all the attention was drawn to another engineering class Turbo-pro. The whole season was played scandal involving two pilots — Pavel Novikov on the Evo IX and Denis Konstantinov in the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Cars must be prepared strictly according to the rules, so that all improvements — in the given framework.
Engineers pilots scrupulously followed the car of each other, if something embarrassing, then immediately appeared written protests. It lasted all of 10 stages, including the final. At points they both claimed the title. This time Paul Novikov faulty engine seemed to get victory Denis Konstantinov? But no, he had not been tested tehinspektsii fuel. The rules they are allowed 100 minutes and he was shown the octane number of 103. He was disqualified.
All the victory goes to Paul Novikov? No. On the protest of his car it will be directed to an inspection in the RAF. Yeah, an amateur motor racing it does not pull. Which one will win is not clear.
Crutches — this is not an obstacle to pilots
At this time, first place in the Turbo-Pro has won Denis Wachowski on the Subaru Impreza WRX STi (1: 46.354), who due to injury missed almost the entire season MaxPowerCars. Notwithstanding any circumstances (including crutches, without which it is not moved), sat behind the wheel of his car.
Such sincere applause of the long history of the competition, probably no one heard. In the eyes of the participants read: «Hey, I know this guy, we have hunted together!»
— Denis! We're all proud of you, and congratulations on this victory! How did you, being on the other points of support, to drive a car? Really competitive spirit is so strong that you do not interfere with the crutches even overtake competitors?
— Doptochki support with a not take the car, afraid that they can write a protest, this season is the trend in (laughs). Honestly, really missed racing and white envy watched from the struggle in the classroom. It's a pity not to have a full fight at the last stage, as faulty car Pasha Novikov!
— You have a very fast machine, that you did to her? How much power?
— The machine is really my cool, fast, and easy to manage. This season we have just changed the tuner, not only to increase in horses and torque, but also made the behavior of the car more responsive to the accelerator pedal, it is possible to open earlier and smoother when exiting corners. Power 440 hp and 700 Nm. However, during the blocking of the rear output collapsed, which led to a slipping wheel unloaded at the exit of slow twists and substantially affected times.
— What do you plan for next year?
— I think next year is still a couple of seconds skins!
With the track — on track!
This season, the organizers decided to return to class Turbo Stock. One of its main fighters — two beautiful girls Tatyana Dobrynina in the Evo XI and Maria Gorbacheva Impreza WRX STi.
For this season they are so often on the podium, get the hand to open the champagne that perhaps the faster guys. But this time, they are distinguished by the fact that the day before the race rode «Smolensk ring».
The distance between the tracks did not bother them, so that during the night they teleported under Volokolamsk there and took second and third place, second only to Andrew Ofitserova Evo VIII, who conquered the first place (1: 55.100).
In fairness, we note that Andrew also visited with the girls in Smolensk.
Audi R8 broke Hurracan
All season Audi R8 GT Yegor Efrosinina never left his rivals no chance, and this time showed the best time in class GT1.
But the finale was typed very catchy company: the Porsche 911 a few GT3, Porsche 911 turbo S, two Nissan GT-R (R35), Lamborghini Hurracan LP610 and another Audi R8 5. By the way, Lamborghini drove the best lap of 1: 51.325.
In the GT2 class victory Yegor Euphrasinia supported Igor Mukhin in the Audi R8 4,2 (1: 49.413).
He could «offend» BMW M3 (E92) and BMW Z4M.
In the GT3 class at this stage of the season I won the debutant Ivan Kibalchich a Porsche 911 (997) (1: 52.455): «The fight was not very tense, because I rolled it in front of Porsche Cup, and it helped a lot!»
And the youngest is quite a stable, strongly demonstrated that all ten stages. Maxim Karnaukhov on the Lotus Elise S2 took the championship and showed time (1: 57.504), followed on the heels of the season chasing Renault Megane RS Vadim Gagarin, but never surpassed.
Pride organizers: three records for the season
The organizers have left to spend the final calculations and wait for the inspection of RAF car from Turbo-pro. But participants still breathe and prepare for the winter season MaxPowerIce.
«Step on the route Moscow Raceway finished tenth season MaxPowerCars Yokohama Open Cup. This year was remarkable not only because of the „round date“, but the fact that he was the most successful for our racing series in the history of its existence.
Judge for yourself: we spent 17 automobile and motorcycle events this year, including our winter championship, the number of participants MaxPowerCars comes to two hundred. We broke records on three tracks: Stepan Krumilov noted at «Sochi Autodrome» and «Nizhny Novgorod ring», and Victor Shaitar set the bar for fans at Moscow Raceway», — summed up the season, one of the organizers of the competition Dmitry Avdeenko.
