Вся галерея мероприятияThe competition was attended by about 70 pilots from different countries, including Latvia, Georgia, Ukraine, Germany, as well as various cities of Russia.
As compared with the first stage, this time the participants was slightly lower and this is due, firstly, the fact that part Volg takes part in the next stage NLS competition, which is held on Nizhegorodskiy ring, and, secondly, the fact that the majority of the Baltic athletes arrived last time in order to participate in the «Friendship Cup» tournament. This tournament was held in the framework of the 1st stage MCGP, his next step will be held July 30–31 at the racetrack in Biķernieki, where a team of Russian pilots also go.
The vast majority of participants came at the start of the races in the category «sports» — «Volga», «Lada», «Moskvich» and «formula.» Among them — a lot of famous names in Russian motorsport — Vladimir Cherevan (class «Lada 1600» №17), Michael Zasadych (class «Lada +» №777), Natalia Goltsova (class «Moskvich 1600» №37), Edgard Lindgren (class «Formula 1300» №71), Alexander Potekhin (class «Formula 1600» №37), Alexander Kirillov (class «Moskvich 1600» №412).
Still about two dozen athletes were in Time Attack format, and here, too, was something to see. Certainly the most striking car in this category was the Ford GT40 MK IV, belonging to Muscovite Alexander Droginu. No doubt, it belongs to him, and the best lap time of 2 stages.

According to the regulations, the team may consist of representatives of the various classes, and many athletes use this advantage to score the highest total number of points.
As they say, who get up early... In general, additional and very unusual bonus on July 4 was the Moscow Raceway SS International rally-marathon «Beijing-Paris» (Peking to Paris Motor Challenge 2016). In the configuration supersprint participants passed the regularity race, after which they continued their movement from East to West and went through Smolensk to Minsk and on to Paris through Poland, Slovakia and others.
However, these races took place only from 9 am to 12 pm, however, the visitors could witness the unusual cars and equally unusual people, who for 36 days have to overcome almost 15 thousand kilometers.
