Вся галерея мероприятияLast Saturday, on the highway near Moscow Moscow Raceway for the first time passed the Race Stars on the prize, «the wheel». The most long-lived in the Russian motorsport trophy in this year's winter has not played on the racetrack and in the fall on a stationary modern racetrack.
Paradoxically, but it must be noted that Renault disappearance from the list of companies that support the «Race Stars» competition went only benefit. The organizers had to look for options, not to bury the historic trophy. When winter came the information about the cancellation of the race (transfer), to be honest, it is not very hard to believe that the race will be held this year at all. But there was not a step back but forward.
In recent years, during a visit to the winter «Race Stars» at the racetrack in mind wandered thought about how it would all look great on the racetrack. The cold and slush, depending on the weather at 100%, as well as short and monotonous track to drive into despondency. The race seemed to be a long, almost endless. Conversely, at the Moscow Raceway event flew so swiftly that «digest» seen between the arrival and the time-it was not. From controversial moments — perhaps before the finals could give the rest a little audience and pilots, especially given the fact that on, almost back to back, began a four-hour marathon Russian Endurance Challenge.
The format of the competition, which is part of the observers as very imperfect, remained almost unchanged. It is believed that continuous improvement (change) rules may result in the idealization, which lost for entertainment. On the one hand it is true. An example is the last Sunday in Monza Italian Grand Prix, «Formula 1». But, on the other hand, the current sporting regulations seem somewhat confusing. Understandable only to the final. No commentator discerned that how and why in the semifinals, almost unreal. Knocks and crossed out the numbers on the machines that are used in other competitions.
But in contrast to this, the audience witnessed a great spectacle, saturated uncompromising struggle, overtaking and departures. The short version of the track — a great choice for this type of dynamic competition. The organizers are unlikely to expect a full house in the stands.
The only advantage of the racecourse — its location, which helped raise the event a lot of spectators. It is curious that during the existence of Moscow Raceway Moscow audience, so that there is the audience — representatives of the press — are not aware that in Moscow is such an object. In general, we can say that the people who made the «discovery» Moscow Raceway already it is unlikely to shut themselves in particular due to the show «Behind the wheel».
In one of the few breaks on the track came true dregovy pro-mod Dodge Viper DT with an engine of 4000 «horses». To imagine this monster in movement, straight racing track is clearly not enough, so the race turned out to be a very, very short. The roar of the engine of this monster forced to close his ears and smoke from burn out-and rose above the pit-building. It was hoped that the pro-modes return, and he will make at least one more race, but it did not happen. In general, the presentation of drag racing went bright, loud, smoky, but it was too short. I wanted more. But the timing of events demanded compliance. In general, for those who wish, there RDRC championship — there you can enjoy such a show all day, and then — just «probe.»
At this year's «Race Stars» did not have guest stars — invited stars of motorsport, which are usually present at the event in the past. Although there is. Was Hermann Tilke — architect of Moscow Raceway, and many other circuits. But Herr Tilke in arrivals did not participate. Our domestic racers, acting in the international series, one and all in this weekend were on their races. Who where. Daniil Kvyat — in Italy, the Russian pilots of the WEC — in Mexico, Mikhail Aleshin — the United States. We hope that with the development of a new format known drivers and personalities from the world of motorsport will reappear in the paddock «Race Stars».
Total arrivals to, according to a list of 34 riders were admitted, including four women: Natalia Goltsova Julia Strukov, Love Andreeva and Tatiana Eliseeva.
Unfortunately, none of pilotess not reached the final. Also in the list of the top six drivers on the results of the semi-finals were not included such well-known for its achievements pilots Vladimir Cherevan Vladimir Sheshenin Roman Golikov and others.
Among the cars, which were the pilots, the advantage remains for the «Lada-Kalina». Also presented were: VW Polo (3), Ford Fiesta (2), Kia Rio (2). Geography pilots — from Kaliningrad to Yekaterinburg, the winner of the same — Nikolai Karamyshev — Kursk, which is about halfway. So all the «balanced.» Six finalists in three races in one circle competed for the prize.
Starting six cars in a row on the circuit very impressed, as the fact that the pilots, both finals, and in the qualifying races «not ashamed» to try to go into the turn three machines. This led to the collision, but no «ears» or other serious incidents have occurred.
The results of the finals is very smooth. Nikolai Karamyshev won a clear advantage, Andrey Petukhov was consistently second, Vitaly Dudin — third, however, in the second heat his result canceled due to a false start.
And immediately after the finish of the «Race of Stars» on the road out of the Russian pilots of the new REC series, to test yourself and technique in a four-hour race, which ended already dark.
