VRT team driver Vladimir Vasiliev spoke about the details of the accident during the eighth stage of the Silk Way Rally, noting that the SUV had rolled several times through the roof.
The eighth stage of the race took place on Friday on the Volgograd-Lipetsk route. Vasilyev was in the lead in general and absolute lags.
– In short, “we rolled, we rolled, we slipped and we fell.” We ended up at a place where there was water on the road and arable land behind. We were thrown out of the water onto this arable land, the car clung to the wheels and started to roll over…. There were about three or five turns – all to the side and one by the muzzle .
The crew is in order, our car is solid, and I think the frame was not damaged – only the plastic flew off, – but it makes no sense to continue racing, and I have decided to issue an abandonment, – the team site quotes Vasiliev.
Vasiliev previously took second and third places in the rally marathon.
