russian agricultural companies on the world market, they created optimal conditions for them and raised prices for their products. athletes from twenty countries of the world took part in the silk road international ural marathon, the race passed through the territory of ten regions of russia and the participants traveled almost 4.5 thousand kilometers from astrakhan to moscow in the standings of trucks there was no equal to the kamaz-master team, and in fashionable all-terrain vehicles won our formula 1 racer nikita mazepin new routes of doctors, our special correspondent here among the cultists. i spoke with the head of the silk way rally marathon vladimir hello, we are talking about motorsport on the air of russia 24 on july 16, the beautiful finish in moscow at luzhniki ended the twelfth silk way rally marathon. and today we are visiting. eh, leader of the silk road rally marathon. vladimir chagin vladimir gennadievich we welcome

you to the great friend of our tv channel. we are always glad to see you. uh, and those 10 days literally just flew by. although the riders spent driving more than 30 hours and more than almost 4 1/2 thousand kilometers, drove from astrakhan to moscow uh, share your impressions. how was it? good afternoon everyone. and yes, 10 days - these are the 10 days of the race that the viewer saw. this is a public work and the culmination of all the many months of work of both participants and organizers in preparation for the race. uh, the participants prepared their technique, prepared themselves physically, we were engaged. with the lining of routes with all administrative organizational issues, a huge large-scale work was carried out this year. eh, although it seems to be passing through the territory of only one country, but there were a lot of peculiarities of the situation this year, of course, there were a lot of agreements. i am very glad that we, in principle, were able to race. e, while not

consistently delaying a single start of the special stage, everything is clearly in timing, without reducing a single special stage, all the participants received 100% of the planned route, and it was very pleasant to see them every day at the finish line. ah, happy faces. yes , the tired route was not easy, not easy, but not such that it was quite some kind of over, difficult, it is interesting with new operations with new regions. and i'm sure that the participants left a very good impression about the organization in the twelfth edition of our project. just, well, world class. eh, that's without a doubt. how difficult it was to organize all this this year in connection with the situation in which all russian sports find themselves in motorsport. uh, probably in particular, since international cooperation is precisely in the second century . car structure, including, yes, and in motorsport , it is probably the most visible than in

team sports. yes, of course, it is very unfortunate that in today's world political situation , sports have also been affected by sports, and it has always been in politics, and it's a shame when our teams of our athletes from russia are not allowed. uh, international competition. i had to cancel many international competitions here in our country. and we, even more, we , the rally directorate, felt responsible for holding the race and holding competitions to give the viewer to the fans the opportunity to experience seeing their athletes, favorite teams, and it was especially pleasant. in the process of preparation , feel the support and leadership of the regions, and this year we have 10 of them on the route. uh, all uh, all departments of the service of the ministry with which we interacted, questions arose and everyone tried to solve them. it gave

strength. so we all understood that we were doing the right thing for people and it’s great, of course, what is the final vladimir gennadievich well, i think that ours, friends and partners, including those from the chinese automobile federation, probably also missed you and went to a new path. eh, maybe. uh, they are also probably waiting, yes, when all the restrictions are lifted and he went where he will return, uh, including to asia, but, of course, the great sports, and the sports silk road, too. i think i have to call e, in terms of the complexity of the organization. and well, and we see how many partner sponsors, uh, who all want to touch this race and uh. it would probably be difficult for them to organize such a large-scale world-class race is not only difficult, it would be impossible to organize such a large-scale competition without the participation of partners and sponsors of our project. i am very grateful that this year we have even added sponsors and

technical partners. e, this suggests that they see interest in advertising their brand by participating in our event, because e yes, now everyone is going through a difficult financial time, but investments in advertising always pay off any business, so i wanted to say a huge word of gratitude and this participants and from the rally directorate to all our partners and sponsors, first of all , the gazprom group of companies, personally alexey borisovich miller for the participation of his, pjsc gazprom in our project, his personal support of our entire rally. and i am sure that next year and subsequent years we will make our race even more interesting and more interesting and more spectacular every year. if we talk about the sports component, then, probably, well, of course, the most spectacular standings are always trucks. and uh the most interest. the audience always calls. uh, when ten-ton, eh

vehicles at speeds greater than 100 km/h. they rush along various off-road and overcome the most difficult obstacles on their way. eh, but it seemed that this year it was very difficult for trucks to develop both for kamaz and for kamaz and for gazeys. e for gastroent sports. eh, everyone suffered. on this route, not a single team managed without technical problems, than to explain the fact that no one e was able to avoid the technical difficulties of setting up, damn it, that this is the task of the route laying group of our e of our directorate e, to do the race is interesting, varied and too easy and not too hard, which will break the technique and wear out the participants too much. i think that we have managed to maintain this balance, as far as the

category of trucks is concerned. yes, here three factory teams competed with each other , the gas team is growing every year. well, yes, we saw that the main competition was between maz kamaz and there were breakdowns in both teams, both teams were experienced. well, as they say, the strongest wins. hey dmitry. procurers of his crew for the last two seasons generally win absolutely all competitions. well, now fortune turned out to be on their side, and this time the bugs class is also very interesting. basically, it is filled with off-road vehicles. uh brp there avic x3 polaris there were also new members already experienced from new i would single out some to talk about it. i would like to, because , well, from the formula one person for the first time moves from smooth asphalt from the royal races. e off- road it is clear that he also experienced e

serious physical activity, but just like that. uh, won the uh, toughest race. ah, has it ever happened in the history of rally-marathons that formula-1 debutants come and win in the first season , many people need to run several races in order to roll in and get to the finish line. they are not just up to the podium to the first place, they are more than 30 years old. eh, the observational experience is certainly not small. e, and well, for example, judging by dc when the world stars from the formula. owned or other motorsports with asphalt come in relay raids. that's the first thing to face. with what difficulties the first is how we say 3d piloting. that is, in no plane, you need to control the machine. and to see the pits of springboards to be able to flutter on them. uh, go around to choose the right trajectory. here the dust of precipitation appears in a heap, a lot of nuances, but one of the most important is that

another person appears in the office, the navigator, whom you need to be able to listen to be able to perceive the information that he says in order to properly drive the car safely and due to this increase speed off-road. uh, not with blood, which, as a rule, is the second third day of the race , coups, then all sorts of failures and only there after some time. uh, this pilot begins, uh, get used to adapting correctly to the king of the raids and then already showing results. nikita i'll tell you straight. well, exceptions. well, of course, it’s impossible not to mention here that he had a very good coach. sergey koryakin is a successful one who performs very well in valery raids, especially in recent years and nikita understood the ideology of raids, which is here need not rush with uh immediately need to feel. uh, hmm the rhythm of the race have your own speed barrier don't look at the others don't race after them

don't try to overtake them. and this is such a tactic of observing it helped him not only to reach the finish line and not have a single coup pen, but even to be on the podium to win one more. ah, well, maybe not a debut, but such a big comeback after almost 30 years, back in rally raids. uh, the lada factory team is legendary. uh, russian niva has passed this rally marathon. eh, and in class is obtained. eh, basic, yes. ah, suvs. how would you rate? eh? lada's return to the world marathon rally scene is great. what did the management of the plant return? this project in terms of marketing work to promote their suvs, following the example of kamaz, and here is the first step. yes, yes, the legendary niva, which europe still respects and loves very much. she, uh,

has become a symbol of modern suvs and at the awards ceremony on saturday, july 16 at luzhniki, there was uh, the general director of the volga automobile plant maxim yurievich sokolov who awarded the participants. ah, competition. e pobediteley and e. undoubtedly. he saw that it was a good tool for promotion. uh, the products of the plant and not with him at all. i realized that he would continue to support and develop this direction on command, one more, and the novelty of this e. the 2022 silk road marathon is a grand tour along the roads of peter, uh, an amateur competition, uh, and we saw that , uh, the participants in this competition simply beamed with joy, because every day they, uh, had something new. tribute maybe the routes, of course, are simpler than those of professionals. eh, but they

learned the basics of off-road traffic and simply rediscovered russia for themselves, and there were most of all foreign participants there. yes, from twenty countries of the world, it turns out that they came to admire the beauties of russia and touch the legendary silk road race. a hmm i think that you have already received feedback from the participants and it seems to me that such a category, a will develop and perhaps even in terms of the number of participants, sooner or later it will outgrow sports our country very always attracts tourists from all over the world car tourism. nowadays, more and more is being developed. and so, feeling this interest this year, we decided. try to introduce this class anyway, to show the country and give an opportunity, uh, to those foreign participants who were not able to participate this year, uh, and bring sports cars to go to be with the race, to be stuffed, to see the starts. finishes. they had a very interesting competitive program. not just they uh how

says ride on public roads. no, it was necessary to learn how to use navigation correctly in time to walk e navigation point to move. uh, patiently on public roads does not violate the rules of traffic rules uh, they had many more and other competitive elements. every day the best result of the day was determined, the winners and, at the end of the day, this category was also awarded along with all the participants at the ceremony. finish. the participants were from different parts of our planet and from asia from europe, this gave impoho opportunities. that competitions among themselves to communicate to see the country and what emotions they got we heard their words of speech at the ceremony, the finish line. it's great that they will return to their countries with this, they will tell their friends, and they approached me very many. uh, at the finish line with the words, please, vladimir ivanovich, continue this direction. we really

enjoyed the next year. we will come here with friends, and vladimirovich i can’t help but note that 10 more regions of russia yes, indeed, today this year they adopted uh, the silk road, uh, and absolutely on two new ones, never before, without touching them, e, rally marathons, and even more so on such a scale as the silk road is e, dagestan, the chechen republic, and the stunning landscapes and beauty e and e. hmm, for all sports characteristics, reviews are top-notch, and world-class pilots. well, there were the most brilliant ones, will you develop this direction in uh, in the caucasus, the route of the silk road will somehow still pass next year or there next years this year for the first time yes , dagestan appeared the chechen republic and very i am glad that the leadership of the region reacted with great interest to the fact that it is still not enough to hold olereids on their territory before experience in this, but nonetheless. uh, joint work is such a team

leadership of the region. e, allowed me to do all the necessary organizational work in a short time and, of course, i want to thank the head of the regions, all all the teams of the regions that worked with us in preparation and before the race. and everything turned out perfectly on time the first time and i count the chechen republic of dagestan on the top five. uh, implemented the passage of our raul, i can’t help but ask for the next season. eh, next year what to prepare for, maybe some are not in the details? well, at least so the general lines can already be. to say, uh, if you look at history, how far has it been since 2009, then the race took place in different years on the way through the territory of five countries, this is russia this is china this is mongolia kazakhstan turkmenistan where did the first silk road come from? of course , we really want the management earlier, so that our hands would not be tied. here are the restrictions here

in this e political situation related to the covid situation , to take a pencil in hand, go to the map and draw the route that will be of interest to the participant, who will be interested. we will be happy to do this for residents of new regions of those countries where the race will be held, if we have this opportunity, we will expand the geography this year. yes, we have spent only on the territory of russia the good thing is that our expanses allow us to do this, but we live, of course, by desire. you go beyond it to run the race on territory of two or three countries, i am sure that we will do our best , but we will all believe together that we will not have any restrictions in this regard . thank you so much. it was vladimir chagin , the head of the international rally marathon silk way, cheer for our see you soon.
