In 2022, the Championship and Cup of the Russian Federation in auto circuit racing will be held for the ninth time under the auspices of the Russian motorsport development program SMP Racing. The new circumstances caused by the political and economic situation will not stand in the way of the next season of the SMP RSKG.
Boris Rotenberg, founder and head of the SMP Racing program: “SMP Racing has been a partner of the Russian Automobile Federation in the development of national circuit motorsport for eight years. In December last year, the contract to hold the championship and the Cup of Russia in motor circuit racing was extended.
With the support of RAF President Viktor Nikolayevich Kiryanov, systematic development continued in a variety of circumstances – from the financial crisis of 2014 to the pandemic of 2020-2021.
The success story will be continued in the 2022 season, which will be the next stage in the development of the Championship and Cup of Russia, united in the Russian circuit racing series. The debut of new classes is planned, a large-scale entertainment program for spectators will be organized on the stages, broadcasts will be carried out. SMP Racing and the Russian Automobile Federation are working to further develop the competition.”
