— Thank you for the warm welcome in Russia. In the interest of coming to the race, to participate in the Silk Way Rally. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the KAMAZ-master team for the car provided for participation. Thanks to Vladimir Chagin for organizing the race, he was the one who gave me such a chance to participate in the rally.
During the tests of the car, I felt incredible emotions. The new truck is fun to drive, very powerful and fast. Compared to the 2016 version of the car, the last time we played on the Silk Road, it has improved,” Hongnin told a press conference.
